Hi. I have just stained and varnished two pieces of old furniture that I had stripped. (I didn't bother with a sanding sealer as the pieces were already quite smooth, and these aren't great pieces, anyway). I varnished once, sanded down with 400 grit, and then today put a second coat of varnish on. I am expecting that there will also be some slight roughness on this second, final coat, and so my question. Is it possible to sand this final coat with something like 600 grit (or maybe even 400 grit) without getting that white haze from the sanding? The varnish is a satin finish, so it doesn't seem to show much when I sand it. If it does still make that white haze, I thought I could take a brush with a little varnish on it and kind of dry brush the hazy area to redissolve the white parts without reintroducing enough varnish to cause another rough surface.
Any suggestions?
thanks, dwhite
