Yes that is possible. I have had a couple of those light areas which I
assume must be water stains?? However on the whole it is very easy to
prep and apply and is very durable - especially if dealing with a new
boat, as the original enquirer is.
On top of which I am not a perfectionist when it comes to varnish as
long as it looks pretty good. I just hate spending too much time on it -
especially if it has to be done every year. I'd rather be cruising.

My experience with Bristol was that if not done exactly correctly, water
spots and/or stains form under the finish. I have a friend who has had
the same experience.
