Hi Diane,
               Varsol must be a Canadian type thing, for some thing you guy's
call some thing else.  Two great Nations separated by a common language.  (
Churchill I think.)

Using shellac for the first coat should  prevent the fish eye.  The
oxidization
is probably attacking the finish from below.  Just a calculated guess. Some of
the more expert finishers could probably give advice in this area.
I have done one plate in this manner. The grey market Yamaha just 2yrs ago. 
The finish seems to be holding up OK. But more time will tell.  Weather it
will
eventually eat it's way through again, I do not know.  But I do know shellac
can be a very effective sealer.  Leave for several days to harden, before
applying the finsh coat.
Hope this may help.
Regards Roger
