I just have to learn to love the fumes -- it's too big to move outside and too humid outside to open the windows.  So it's just me and the fumes.

I solder a lot and purchased a fume extractor.  It wasn't very much, and I do notice a change in the quality of the air while soldering.

Not sure how that would work for you, but if not, a respirator might be worth the investment.

Or at the very least, a pollution mask

mouser:
I actually do have a high quality respirator, and it's useful for strong but short lasting fumes.
In this cases the urethane doesn't have much fumes, but it's like a 4-5 day process of putting 2 coats on per day, so it adds up.  I can't very well wear a respirator for 4 days.
Normally I would open some windows and put some fans and get some good air flow going.. but this summer it's been like 80% humidity constantly, so I'm really reluctant to do that as I fear it will interfere with the drying.

mouser:
So I'm trying to decide between stain colors.  I have my standard dark one that I love that I have used on previous builds, and then I have this new lighter golden red/orange "antique maple" one that I think looks really nice:

So I'm torn on which color to go with.. Thoughts anyone?

I feel like last time you made something you said you should try going for a lighter, more natural color. Have your feelings on the matter changed?

That said, the darker one seems like it might match the floor better.
