Sealer or Varnish for covering smells?
What is best for sealing in/covering up the smell of cat urine in wood?
I'm told that either sealer or varnish are best. But there are many diiferent types to choose from at the store. Does anyone have suggestions on what might be best? Obviously, the wood in question can't be replaced. The only option is to try to cover or seal in the smell. |

If memory serves topic has been discussed in alt.home.repair and
several have suggested a product from a per store. One for cats and another for dogs. Forgot the name, google would find it.

One thing about those odor removers, is that they usually require the
part to be soaked for hours, or even days while the bacterial action that removes the smell takes place. By soaking, I mean placing something like a damp towel over the treated spot. This may not work too well for wood, depending on what the wood is for. If its something that shows, it might affect the wood with swelling, cracking (after drying), etc. OTOH, if its something like a floor thats going to be covered, then the above suggestions, or even KILZ will work.
