Hi,

I'm varnishing this wooden chair and hit a big problem.

What happened was this is a revarnishing job. I sanded the chair back.
Applied the first varnish- and all was really sweet. It was perfect.

So I applied the 2nd varnish several days later. The problem was that I was
doing it at night. Then my good friend unexpectedly showed up with DVD and a
couple of drinks and started to chat with me. So I rushed the varnishing
job - sploshed on the varnish and hurried it up.

Two days later- I took the chair and put it out in the sun. There were
several streak marks in several areas caused by the application of too much
varnish. These marks couldn't be seen if you looked at the chair front on.

I took out a light sand paper and started sanding back. After a vigorous
application- they rubbed off like dead old skin- they started peeling off.

I stopped... oh crap. What have I done? ARGHHHH...!!!!!!

My question is- should I carry on sanding back the thick streaks of varnish?
When I sand it back- the areas where the varnish isn't so thick- gets
collateral sand back too- and ends up bare wood.
