Well, I had hell with the varnish. Long story short it dries to slow so if you don't have a spray booth or sanitary place to spray it gathers dust, bugs or whatever else is in the air. I put on about 6 coats sanding between, color sanded and buffed out the final coat. The end result is glossy with small imperfections. I would not go this route again.
