Hi I'm new here and new to turning. Iv been a hobby wood worker for many years and just recently purchased a lathe. Not even set up yet but I plan on starting out with pens and then small bowls.
Anyway my question is what would be a good finish to use that would give a gloss result but the fumes not be of any concern of combustion?My shop is in my basement not the best ventilation but there is some. In the summer I only have to worry about water heater pilot light and I can open up windows. In winter I have some more concerns. With my other projects I take away from any open flame garage usually. But if I want to finish on lathe what can I use that I won't have to worry about open flame. Not sure if CA finish would cause any issue especially for how little you would use. Looking for suggestions. Thank you.
