How to Varnish with a “pro.” Equipment

Talking over basic supplies for varnishing.
The basic rundown.
Masking tape,plastic or paper masking sometimes both.
Abrasives: 80,100,180,220,320,400 grit sandpaper and Maroon Scotch-Brite (yes that is spelled correctly for the brand that I use).
Clean up: brush attachment for a vacuum, shammy, low lint (lint free if possible) paper towels, a couple buckets, tack rags, brush spinner (this isn’t needed but is very convenient).
Solvents: paint thinner/ mineral spirits, Brush cleaner, acetone.
Application stuff: clean cups, tubs and or roller trays, paint filters/strainers (call them what you will, same thing), 1/8” nap foam roller covers (only if using the roll and tip method), badger hair varnish brush(es), a small assortment of natural bristled artisan brushes, lights and plenty of them.
