I have some small spots of Cab-O-Sil squeeze-out that didn't get completely cleaned up. They are not blending in after clear epoxy coating. I'm thinking of disguising them with a Sharpie before varnish. Any thoughts?

You may find that the varnish may cause the ink to smudge. Try using heat gun ( hair dryer) to soften the blob and a scraper or putty knife to reduce it.
I second the heat gun approach. It worked for me.
Thanks guys. You have affirmed my fears about what the solvent in varnish might do to Sharpie ink. I was hoping to find someone who had tried it successfully.
These spots were small. It seemed like a heat gun would cause too much collateral damage. I drilled them out with a dental burr on a dremel and filled the depressions with epoxy/flour. Good as new.
Thanks again for your input.
