S&G: time to varnish (long overdue!)

Now that my son's SOF is well underway (we are paused because the boatyard/basement flooded with the recent rains) it is time for me to finally put the varnish on the boat (Fishstalker) that was built many years ago. I believe the epoxy was Raka but I doubt it was the no-blush (Mike???). The boat has been stored in the basement under a heavy layer of dust so I am pretty sure there has been no UV problems but I am not sure how I would know???

The plan was to wet sand the epoxy with 180 and then 220 and finish with the McClosky Spar Varnish (which I bought when I should have finished it previously). Any gotchas that I should be looking for?

TIA
