Hi all. I'm close to completing an English Walnut side table project and am about to start the finishing process. I'm going to use Waterlox, and with it being too cold in my garage or sunroom (night time temps in the 20s - 30s), my only option for a finishing space seems to be inside the house. In the past I've used the sunroom but its a large space and it took forever to heat up with a kerosene heater. I was never all that thrilled with using a kerosene heater in there as it was.
With a toddler and newborn in the house, the fumes scare me a bit. I have a laundry/bathroom area in my house that's about 96 sq/ft. There's an exhaust fan in the space that vents outside. It has a barn-style door so there is some room for air intake. Does anyone think I could use this space for finishing? I usually do about 6 light wiping coats, around 1 per day, depending on drying time.
I would rather not have to build a small finishing tent in the sun room, but that is also an option.
I do prefer oil/varnish blends as a finish but would be open to trying something new if it meant less harmful fumes.
Thanks for your advice!
Bill
