| Is there any reason why I shouldn't apply varnish to floorboards using
a 'paint pad' rather than a brush? I've never gotten on too well with
brushes, and I can see it taking a long time to put just one coat down
using a brush.
Is there anything better than varnish? There seem to be all sorts of
colouring/staining liquids available.

| I can think of no reason why you shouldn't use a paint pad.
The only caution I would offer is that some varnishes can be quite
thick, and I would think difficult to apply with a pad.
There are all sorts of wood finishes now, it all depends what finish,
gloss, matt, satin etc and colour you require.

| You didn't actually ask this, but I recommend the acrylic floor
varnishes. Not only are they much harder wearing; they also dry very
quickly - you can do 3 coats in a day. Only problem is that you have to
make sure that you brush it all out as it dries whitish if you leave it
too thick. For this reason, unless the floor is absolutely smooth, I
would suggest that a brush is better (whatever the varnish). Or perhaps
you could just use a brush on the rough bits, if any.
