Buy a brush strictly for varnishing and buy a bottle that will hold the brush inside it and put a good amount of mineral spirits in the bottle. So you are basically soaking the brush in the bottle all the time. When you varnish, take it out and use it, then put it back in the mineral spirit bath and seal it up...

thats the best way to keep a varnish brush.
