Epoxy: Varnish Over New Epoxy

Wondering how much of a deal this is. I am refinishing a boat and needed to fill a couple of deep scratches with epoxy. Now normally you would let the epoxy fully cure (several weeks) before varnishing. I was not going to sand the patch but use a cabinet scraper to fill (no uncured epoxy dust issues this way). How big of a deal is it if I varnish the boat in a couple of days. BTW, I am in the recommended temp range but at the lower end.
