Varnish may be soft, but as you have noticed,
not all varnished benches become so soft and sticky.
My understanding is as follows:
Too much oiling with a lemon oil or such can make
a vanish softer. Also polishes with wax cloud up
the varnish and make it softer. I tell my clients
Its OK to use a fine furniture oil once in a blue
moon, but very lightly, wiping up all excess and not
very often. Varnish is already soft and will absorb
waxes and polishes softening it.
I am not a refinisher, and confirmation or
correction
of these thoughts is welcome.
Thank You
Dave Renaud
