No Dave, the GF gel varnish is a clear varnish that contains a thickening agent. It's intended to be wiped and rubbed in as I recall. Again, as I recall, applying it per the directions would seem to preclude and possibility of "brush marks".
I used it once and did not like it at all. In addition to being difficult to apply well (it doesn't flow out, it needs to be wiped) it chips very easily. This is because it does not penetrate the wood well so a good bond is impossible. |

I tried sanding, it wasn't dry underneath and that was a mess in its own. I would up stripping, and starting over - with a product I had good experiences with.
Good luck!
and don't think of it as a failure- its a learning experience |
