How do you store varnish?
Handling and storing varnish is much less complicated than working with it. As long as you follow a few basic tips, your varnish will keep for extended periods and will be ready for use when you need it.Store at Moderate TemperaturesVarnish should be kept between 50 and 80 degrees F. If varnish gets too cold, it becomes difficult to brush or roll. If it gets too warm in a sealed can, the seal could disappear, and the container of varnish would go to waste.Store Upside DownTo protect the seal, store the can upside down. This practice will prevent air from getting into the container and hardening the varnish. If you need to store leftover paint, use this same trick. It may increase their shelf life up to several years.Avoid Direct SunlightDo not store varnish in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light can cause chemical reactions in the varnish, and the reactions will affect its ability to cure properly. If you must transfer the varnish to another container, pour it through a paper strainer to prevent contaminants from being passed from one container to the next.

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. .
Do I need to varnish natural slate to use it as a cheese platter?
I would think it should be sealed with something. As a test, lick the slate and see if you get a mineral or dirt taste. If so, this could transfer to the cheese. I wonder if mineral oil applied and buffed off might not seal it well enough. You can mix varnish and lacquer thinner 50/50 and rub it on. This penetrates more and does not leave as much of a surface of varnish.
