Varnishing without streaks?

Can you post a photo?

 

What varnish are you using?

I like water based. That's the milky stuff that dries out clear.
When its on at the beginning it looks streaky but dries out super smooth.

 

Lovely to work with, but I find you need to use a good quailty synthetic brush.

 

Yes a good quality brush helps.

 

And you can use it over shellac based sanding sealer also.

Applying a watered down coat (10% of the solvent) first to seal the surface helps.
