Why do you need to sand a hardwood floor first before applying stain and varnish?
Wood stain MUST penetrate the grain of the wood or it doesn't color. clear coats like Varnish or Urethaneare designed to seal over the stain "color" & keep the wood from being "stained" by all the dirt & spills it endures over time. If you don't sand the old finish off evenly it will keep the new stain from penetrating and it will also allow the stain to penetrate in areas where the old varnish was worn or damaged but not in others making the new stain blotchy & uneven. A good quality urethane is far better and easier to apply than Varnish. .

Can you skim coat over gloss paint?
Assuming you are using a dye-based spray on stain, yes, if the gloss is already set up and scuffed! However,while spraying or applying, gloss is too wet/tacky to work with between coats! As I do at work using Acrylic Polyurethane paints onto cabinet parts, your best bet is to apply a first coat of satin, stain over that, then a final coat of satin to seal the stain! (NEVER apply gloss over an unsealed dye based stain, as the heavy material will have a tendency to pull your stain and make the color look uneven!) As soon as the satin is flashed off (10-30min, depending on paint and temp.) you can apply your gloss. This is the method we have used for decades on HIGH quality cabinets!
