If you can't get the gloss you expect when you do the work, just leave it for a month and re-polish (just polish, not sand) again then. As Bill says, it takes varnish a long time to harden enough to take a really high gloss polish, but eventually it will.

Good luck with it, and let us know how it turns out.

Best regards,

Allan Edie
