ok, i need some help from some of you who've built humi's before.
I've finished building my humidrawer (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=161313 shows some of it) and I've just started with the finishing. The drawer is made of oak and lined with cedar. The lid is a mix of oak and glass. I've stained all the oak (including the inside of the lid) and I've applied two coats of polyurethane. I'm now realizing that it probably wasn't the best idea to apply stain and poly to the inside of the lid, but it's too late now. I'm worried that the smell will bleed into the cigars.
So what do I do?
1. Do I junk the lid and rebuild? It took me a long time
2. Do I just wait until the poly smell goes away? How long will that be?
3. Can I sand off the inside of the lid? I think it will still have stain that's soaked into the wood.
4. Can I seal the inside with something else more natural now, and seal in the poly smell?
Any ideas would be appreciated!!!
