What does the can say? Some finishes require a scuff between coats, some not.

I suspect what Larry is talking about is, when any wetness is applied to
raw wood, some wood fibers will rise and, when dry, the raised fibers
will feel rough. This may be the roughness he's talking about. If so,
sand lightly with 220 grit or you can be a little more firm with 400
grit, to knock down those raised fibers.... and any dust nibs, also.

Steel wool sometimes leaves sanding/pressure streaks, more so than with
sand paper, if you're not careful with your sanding.... again,
sometimes... especially on flat surfaces. For spindles, curves and the
like, steel wool would be my choice.

Beyond rough fiber sanding, do as Leon says and see what the application
instructions say about sanding between coats.

Any roughness with this product is the direct result of not effectively
removing the residue from the previous application. When the directions
state to remove all residue, they mean it

It should not happen in the first place, but if not removed, it will
buildup with each successive coat and remain gummy.
