My only concern would be to not damage the lensplate of the flash. If that gel melts onto the lensplate and sticks to or damages it, it could lead to other issues. This being the worst possible scenario:

Put that wasn't from a gel, that was from over using the flash. DH posted that two photographers were using the same flash all day and it was in constant use.
Apparently the SB800 doesn't have a mechanism to stop it from firing if it gets too hot.
