response from AwlGrip

"The ideal situation would be to remove the sealant in the joints prior to application, and reapply the sealant/caulking after the varnish has cured.

Removing the stainless steel stanchion bases is also the best practice.

This allows the varnish system to attach to the wood and any holes in the varnish (for fasteners etc) are under the fitting and sealed up."

This settles it for me ...
