Tiki Central / Tiki Carving / Where do you varnish your tiki?

Just started varnishing. First thought - where should I do this? I started in the garage on a bench top so as to be above the floor where any dust might be present (swept & used the air nozzle, then waited a few hours to make sure any dust had settled). Applied the polyurethane & everything looks great. Left the garage door open cause it stinks to high heaven.

Now I'm wondering - If I do the next few coats at night & don't leave the garage door open, will this be a problem? There's a gas water heater in there & I'm worried about the fumes.

Should I be concerned about this? Where do you all do your finishing work? I thought about doing this outside, but don't want it to get covered with bugs, dust and/or leaves.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Mahalo,

A-A
