I varnished right there with the bugs, dust and sand. The first coats don't make much difference since you are sanding inbetween coats anyway. The Final coat is the one you need to protect and if it gets stuff on it you can wet sand it with 100, 15, and 2000 grits. Don't worry too much, its only a tiki, though I know you want it Perfect.By now we ALL know you are a perfectionist and I say that in a Good way. In the future your tikis will be among the Best around for it.
