No reason not to if that's what you want. I tend to think of things in
time/money/warrantability. If I have 40-50 hours in a project, I am
not concerned about the bottle or half bottle I would use (5-10 bucks)
on a project that I could save. And for the sake of my reputation, I
wouldn't put that on anything I made for one of my clients if I had one
shred of doubt.

If you use it and it works well for you, you did great. You will feel
silly if that syrupy stuff doesn't ever cure completely, and as it is,
most refinishers will tell you that when it is no longer oily smooth,
it has started to polymerize.

But I would never think to deny anyone their right to find out.

Good luck!
