I've built a pantry for my wife and the only finish I used on the interior
(red oak plywood) was clear Watco. It looked great, but the odor makes it
unusable -- packaged goods absorb the smell. After two months, applied a
coat of wipe on polyurethane, but that has not helped. The only thing I can
think of now is to apply a coat of paste wax. Any and all ideas will be
appreciated.
