Can you varnish over tacky stain?

Never apply a coating over a surface that hasn't fully cured. If the stain is "tacky" then it either has been applied way too thick for a penetrating stain, it was applied in high humidity, or it has not been allowed to dry sufficiently. Either allow sufficient time for the stain to dry, or if it's just not drying, remove the stain and reapply under the correct conditions before applying a clear coat.
