Varnishing an Artic Tern

I have sanded my Artic Tern and am ready to varnish it with Z-Spar Flagship Varnish as recommended by Pygmy. Is there anything I have to do before I varnish it? I remember reading last fall that some people had trouble with blush from the epoxy and the varnish was not sticking or drying. Is this anything I have to worry about? I want to finish varnishing and get it into the water by 4/28. The epoxy has been on for 7 or 8 months.
