Feldman and L'Erario (those goofy furniture repair guys) do it all
the time...and on furniture. In fact they discuss the conventional
"wisdom" that says don't, and debunk it. They say it's a varnish
maker's conspiracy to make people think varnish is all they need.

In any event, what are you worried about? You should be able to
duplicate your process on some scrap and see if anything
bloodcurdling happens. When it doesn't, shoot the floor, and then
have your wife take you out to dinner.
