I think that is a dye not a varnish so it won't repel water . I would think you would need to seal it afterwards with a waterproof varnish if you're going to have it near water .

I find a better alternative is "Sanding Sealer" this is like varnish but is a shellac based very light varnish which seals the pores of the wood as it soaks in and gives a very much finer appearance than varnish . Almost looks like a wood polish as opposed to varnish which can be quite thick and heavy looking and too much for any fine detail on a model unless thinned.
