I shall call this tool Bob and it's a Malteser roller

way longer like a couple of days between coats and a week to fully cure

If you want to have the more golden colour then you need to use an oil based varnish. The polymers in the oil are what refracts the light to give the golden colour. So any oil rather than water based polyurethene will do

They will your machine is the same as mine (Triton) just a different colour. If they are a little shorter or longer remember you can trim them and the bobbins go up and down and don't use the full length of the drum during the stroke

I'm interested in this Andy, give us a bell
