UV damage

I am almost ready for varnish on the Tred Avon. I'd like to set it in the sun a day or three, to darken up the deck. If I understand it, the redwood and mahogany will get darker and redder, and the fir will get darker and yellower. The question is, what will happen to the epoxy? Will a few days hurt it?
