Sprayed lacquer once in my basement similar to your explanation. Thought I would be okay, like you are now. I will never do that again Yes, the fumes penetrated the entire house. I had a nice buzz going in-spite of the respirator.

Just my two cents, BTW I like shellac. Finish with that in the color of your choice.

Edit… how rude of me, nice job on the table.
