Varnish may be soft, but as you have noticed, not all varnished benches become so soft and sticky. My understanding is as follows: Too much oiling with a lemon oil or such can make a vanish softer. Also polishes with wax cloud up the varnish and make it softer. I tell my clients Its OK to use a fine furniture oil once in a blue moon, but very lightly, wiping up all excess and not very often. Varnish is already soft and will absorb waxes and polishes softening it. I am not a refinisher, and confirmation or correction of these thoughts is welcome.
