What Casey said. No matter how carefully you apply epoxy, it will never be smooth enough until you sand it. It might also have a waxy surface that prevents a good bond. First, wash it off with water, then sand it smooth. It's not as difficult as it sounds. Varnish doesn't hide any flaws; it only highlights them! -Wes

No. You must sand the epoxy.
