Something you might think about for the future relative to doing fume-y and/or toxic refinishing projects indoors is to drill a hole (either 4" or 6") in your house's basement band-joist (assuming you have a basement) and installing a vent fan.
I have two basement vent-fans in my house...one in my photographic darkroom, which has a 3x16ft. epoxied plywood sink which makes a great platform for applying finishes as well. The other vent fan is over the cat-litter box. We no longer have a cat...so this area is now my "go to" for off-season
finishing, gluing-up, parts cleaning, etc.
At any rate...install is very easy involving a hole saw/drill attachment, a "weather head" vent pipe, a bit of expanding foam, and some flexible dryer hose if to reach down a bit towards your work surface.
Oh...and the fan motor can either be a simple "in line" helper-fan (used in forced air heating
systems), or something more powerful like the vent-axia (rated as "fire-safe," not likely to ignite a
flash-over associated with flammable/volatile solvents, etc.) which I have in my darkroom. Do get a variac transformer for a more powerful fan so you can turn it down a bit!
