I have made a large wooden box with lid for the kitchen to put our shoes and bags in.
It's my first project and has been a great learning curve.
I finished the unit yesterday inside and out with clear varnish. I put the box in the kitchen this evening, and when I opened the lid the varnish smell was so overpowering I have ended up putting it in the shed with the lid off overnight.
Any tips on how long it takes for the smell to go away? I'm wondering if I should have varnished it inside at all now and whether that small might rub off to the contents.
Your tips, help would be greatly appreciated. I will put a couple of photos up when I can the photos off my phone.
