I recently made a container out of cherry and finished it with urethane. I use a 1:1 Urathane/Mineral Spirits mixture for my first coat, then a 3:1 mixture from there on.
For whatever reason the container [after three to four weeks] still have an odor after it has been closed for a time. I am wondering if anyone thinks this is still coming from the mineral spirits I used?
My intended use was for dry dog food storage for our Snauzer. I have never experienced this lingering odor on any of my projects, but of course they are flat surfaces with no enclosed areas, except for drawers etc.
Any thoughts?
