Re: Staining

Both of the above sound like good reasons to me...<br /><br />Mostly because of the nasty vapors, need good ventilation or you go loopy in the head.<br /><br />Any chance you can rig up some ventilation to the outside?

Re: Staining

The staining usually isn't as bad as the varnishing.

Re: Staining

i stain in mine all the time. i just run a little fan in one of the window, like roscoe said the varnishing is bad one, but if your just brushing it on and not spraying it on i still do that in the basement too. wouldnt want to chance spraying it on tho
