First of all, prepare the surface, Wrap a small bar around the sanding paper, smooth the surface with smooth movements along the fibers. The fence, this is understandable, is not furniture, so you can go through coarse paper to even the surface. Then with a brush made of natural hair, apply varnish. It is necessary to cover, starting from the edge in one direction, while rubbing well over the entire surface.
