Default Finishing inside of cabinets

As far as the smell, is this a bathroom that's used daily for showers? If
not, you should be beyond the smell in a few days. Certainly not the 24 hour
lie on the paint container, but not 2 weeks, either.


It's a large bathroom, used daily, and open plan to the master
bedroom so the smell will be a pain. The refinishing of the
cabinet exteriors with poly won't be too much of a problem
because the doors, drawers and panels, have been taken to the
garage/shop for refinishing. The frames will need to be done in
situ but the surface area of the frames isn't very great.

I agree that the paint smells tend to last a lot longer
than advertised (unlike the paint!). Some brands and formulations
are more obnoxious than others.
