: Personally I'd wait for a week. Epoxy doesn't outgas, the wood does
: and only until the epoxy reaches it's inital cure. But epoxy
: doesn't cure very quickly and the varnish won't do well until
: it's at least mosly cured. Can take up to a month to reach a
: full cure, but it's pretty much non-reactive after a week.
