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.

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

Also, should a varnished floor be wax polished afterwards?


I varnished a parquet floor a few months back and I'd say brush marks were
reasonably minimal. I used a 6inch brush from Wickes for the job and made
sure as I built the coats up (4 in total) that they were always in a
different direction. I seem to remember washing with white sprits between
coat, if not then definitly before the first coat.
