Fusion Firm Chrome Silver

The first coat of the silver looks wonderful. Should I proceed with the varnish coat or ignore it?

I would read the instructions. The instructions say to wait 72 hours before applying the varnish. While the first coat of silver looks great and I didn't have any issues with minimal handling I think that in the long run it would be best to use the varnish as they suggest protecting the finish in the long run. I didn't notice any changes in the finish after the varnish had dried.
