Default How long to air vivs after varnishing

Hi all

Just finished putting on the second coat of yacht varnish on a couple of new vivs I have built.

As anyone who as used this stuff will know, it stinks.

I was wondering what is a safe ammount of time to let them air before the occupents move in?
