...is a combination of heavier than air gasses that you squirt into the varnish can before sealing. It settles on the surface and prevents oxygen from getting to it and starting the curing process.

Although it would probably work fine with a gallon can, I would do as Rob suggests, then use the Bloxigen in each jar, especially as you use it and varnish level drops.
