2. First coat
Apply Shellac Varnish undiluted, evenly and sparingly with a brush or cloth.

3. Re-sanding between coats (optional)
Re-sanding between coats is only required if the surface has dried rough, for example if wood fibres have dried proud of the surface. Use sand paper (grit P100-180) in the direction of the fibre.
Dust down thoroughly after sanding.
