   Simple answer-stir well, apply as you would outside but in a warm place-house, garage, basement.  Heed all warnings about applying around open flames and disposing of rags etc.

   or

   buy one of the waterbourne finishes with different properties and apply as advised on the can.

   Mainly keep away from any flame source and make sure you have SOME ventillation -- a window open a crack, etc, ideally on the downwind side so air moves out the window directly from your work area.

   (Worst problem I ever had was using Titebond II PVA glue on a hot humid day -- I developed a really bad rash everywhere the sweat held my clothes to my body.  (EVERYWHERE!))

   Thanks. I think I understand why people have sheds.

   Woodworking in Basement

   I do a fair amount of wood finishing in the basement and while there are times I ventilate to reduce odors I would not be concerned about a 1 X 6 that is 29 inches long. 

   When I replaced the kitchen Formica I had to use the solvent based contact cement.  That job required ventilation with a small fan of the induction motor type because there are no brushes to produce a spark.  It was nice weather and many windows were open also.

   Interesting thanks. I should get one of those types of fans. My problem is, my garage is my workplace mostly and in the winter I need to keep that door closed.  Hopefully I will rarely do things like this in winter, but there are exceptional needs.

   a 1X6 about 29 inches long

   such a tiny piece that you could coat it in the bedroom with a piece of plastic over the bedspread and not have any bad effects

   Fumes and odor a problem only when doing a whole floor or some such.
