Default foolproof varnish

I've got some woodwork to do and would like to know opinions on
different varnishes for the interior. I want something that I can
apply quickly (2 coats in one day) and get finished in two days. I've
used epiphanes before, lots of drips, bubbles, etc. This is just for
interior beech colored light wood on mainly a plastic boat. Most of
the trim is vertical surfaces, thin strips.


Apply THIN coats with a good brush and don't "work" it too hard. When
you can, go across the grain in a less than 1' square area, then tip
with the grain and go to the next "square", overlapping slightly. It may
not look like you're getting a full coat down, but it'll work.

The next morning, if you put down thin coats, it'll be set up enough
that you can wet-sand lightly, dry and clean with a tack cloth, then hit
the next coat or two.
