: The tack cloth should be used only after sanding varnish. If used
: between epoxy coats it will contaminate the surface and cause
: fish eyes / prevent the epoxy from curing.

I agree and don't even use them anymore for varnish, a lint free towel used damp works just as well and can't contaminate the surface.
