Strip: To varnish or not to varnish that is the question.

What should I do? I am low on epoxy and have two quarts of epiphanies varnish. Only problem is on final sanding I sanded into the glass tape on the seam in a few places (ok all over the place). I did a test on the underside of one of my hatches and yes you can see the impression of the glass a little with one coat of varnish. I am thinking of putting on 2 or 3 coats of varnish sanding smooth and putting on a couple more coats. Do you guys see any problem with this or should I bite the bullet and get some more epoxy?
Thanks for the help.
I am getting the itch to paddle this thing.
