Unfortunately additional coats won't correct the problem. You need to sand it down flat and then put on another coat. For this type of thing, I would use the foam sanding boards you can get at Walmart or Target that are made for filing fingernails. I have one that has four different grits on the same board. It works quie well, just b careful you don't sand into the threads.

USUALLY, waviness comes from applying too much finish. Sometimes using heat (Bic, whatever) too late when the finish is starting to set and it can't self level does this, too.
