I would try to use a poly (it will be waterbased and seem the least toxic) I’ve used a minwax brand one in a blue can.

It will take longer to dry if you live in a humid area. When you can no longer smell fumes it will be safe to use but error on the side of waiting longer.

You can tent it up with an old blanket or plastic drop cloth.Then what you do is put any extra heat you can on it.A space heater works great use a fan to move the air around and it will cure up pritty fast.Just do it when you have time to moniter it for safty.Should take a day to not be tacky then you can take the heat off and let it air out .
