Hello @Jockster
Thank you for sharing your question about revarnishing your internal timber stairs. The basic steps to rejuvenate your timber steps are typically to sand down the surface back to wood. This is to make sure that the varnish or sealer will get absorbed by the timber pores. Poor preparation will result in poor uneven absorption which will result in a patchy uneven finish.
To expedite the sanding process, I suggest using a detail sander such as the https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-200w-detail-sander_p0098548 or similar. My best advice is to make sure that the sanding pad is properly secure and lined up with the sanding pad. Rushing the installation of the sanding pad can cause it to misalign and damage the velcro pad.
