Epoxy over varnish?

When repairing scratches, gouges, etc., or making modifications to a boat, with varnish over epoxy over glass/wood surfaces, should the old varnish (still clear and in good shape) in the immediate vicinity of the scrape/attachment point be stripped away from the area for a distance before laying on the new epoxy? Or is it ok to go over good varnish with epoxy?

thanks for any thoughts, JR
