Remember that epoxy cures - it doesn't dry. So the idea of a thin coat curing quicker than a thick coat doesn't apply here. If anything the opposite is true.

Once the solvent evaporates I would expect the epoxy to cure at it's normal rate. Most people was been successful varnishing after letting their epoxy cure for a week.
