I done a lot of woodworking with epoxy on many projects and I agree that you probably have to redo that spot. Now I hope that everyone knows that you can clean up any epoxy based spill or drip with a finger dipped in common rubbing alcohol. I always have a bottle nearby because as the epoxy is drying on a surface that will be visual later, I usually wipe with a paper towel dipped in rubbing alcohol or even just pour a bit on and wipe with a finger.Garth

: Just a wild guess but, if the epoxy was cookin off while it was on your
: varnish, then you probably don't have much choice about the removal and
: revarnishing of those little spots. The heat from your epoxy would surely
: dull the varnish if not cook it away. Just a guess though.
