I've been trying to varnish our new bathroom floor (solid bamboo
strip), but the brush marks are far to obvious for my liking.

Is there a trick to getting a smoother finish? I'm using Dulux
Diamond Tough Satin Floor Varnish with a soft 2" brush.

Are you talking about brush marks or start-of-brushing-marks?
When I did my floor with acrylic varnish I had trouble with
marks showing up where the brush first made contact during a
brush-stroke. I think I was using too much varnish in the brush.
I was using Wickes Super Tough Floor Varnish, but can't say
I had any problems with mid-stroke brush-marks. Maybe your
varnish neeeds a little thinners added?


Perhaps I should be sealing the floor with something else entirely?

Also, should a varnished floor be wax polished afterwards?

AFAIK there is no requirement for his, though I can't say it would
do any harm. I hear wax floor finishes are easily damaged though.
