A few months ago, I built a miniature chest of drawers for the purpose of storing tea bags and sweetener packets in my kitchen. I chose Watco Danish Oil as a finish for the drawer bodies, which were made of poplar and plywood.
I got a little over anxious to start using it, so I filled it with its intended contents a few days after finishing. That was sort of a mistake, as the tea bags took on the finish scent. I immediately tossed them.
But it's been about 3-1/2 months and the finish scent is still there. Anything I put in there takes on the scent. What did I do wrong?
