varnish back in the can?

I just applied the first coat of Flagship varnish to my hull. I carefully poured about 10 oz. of varnish from the new can through a strainer into a clean plastic container and used a foam brush. Everything went fine. After finishing, I had about 5 or 6 oz. left in the container. My first instinct was to discard it, but at 28.95 per quart I couldn't bring myself to do it - back in the can it went. Did I just doom the finish on my boat for the sake of 5 bucks worth of varnish?
