Yeah that makes sense.
Acid Stain and our Standard Epoxy Clear Sealer @ 300 sq ft per epoxy with prepare time too; I'd rather let someone else do the work and have a fire proof surface.

I went with a professional installer for our epoxy coating; nearly 6 years later flooring.

Unless you sand off the existing varnish back to bare wood, it would be a bad idea to use stain to remove any water or other stains and clean up the wood.
