years ago I thought I would never say this" a premium quality
Wooster "foam" brush.

And what prompted you to use a foam brush? Considering the poor
reputation that many/most have as a finishing tool, why take the
chance?

Instructions on the can. And it specified a quality foam brush.

Well, that's another thing that's so great about my old-fashioned
varnish: It doesn't matter what kind of brush you use.

Since the stuff flows out so nicely, one isn't required to get a 100%
Mongolian yak-hair brush for $200, and use just the right length brush
strokes.

I do use a good brush (a nice ox-hair one), but so long as the brush
doesn't shed bristles, you can use just about anything. As opposed to
brushing lacquer, which totally depends on brush quality and brushing
technique.

I'm trying to finish furniture here, not achieve Zen satori with my
brushing technique.
