Can you set up to spray it? Goes a lot faster, and more consistent coverage.

There has been an easy little setup, maybe one of Bill Rewey's ideas or maybe just
an old-time solution to varnishing, where you get an inexpensive and fairly
small paintbrush that can fit into most of the nooks and crannies of the ribs
and sticks, plus a squeeze-handle oilcan, and a length of aquarium tubing to
connect the two. Just get a ty-rap or zip tie to secure one end of the tubing
to the brush handle so the end of it points onto the brush bristles and the
other end goes on the nipple of the oil can. You can brush away with one hand
and squeeze the oil can handle as required to flow varnish onto the brush as
you go. Periodic refills of the oil can are necessary, but at least you're not
having to dip the brush into the can of varnish and give it a wipe time after
time after time. Worth a try (it's cheap enough), and some mineral spirits
cleans things up when you're done. You can also add some mineral spirits to the
varnish to thin it out a little so it'll flow out and soak into the wood quicker
and easier. Again, worth experimenting with depending on the temperature
you're trying to work in.
