I use the Man O War Spar marine varnish. I don't think there's a fire hazard, but just the same it's a good idea to have a well ventilated area. For me, it's my garage, with newspaper to protect the floor. I open the garage door a couple feet during the day with the smaller door open also, helps the breeze come thru. I use 3 coats with 24 hours between each. The wood sucks up the first coat like a sponge. Good luck.
