Our order of application is to start with the scroll, continue to the ribs, then the top and lastly the back. This has been our most successful way to eliminate both dust contamination of the varnish and muscle fatigue. Also, as when applying the ground, two bout clamps and a lint free pad can go a long way in relieving muscle tension while varnishing.
