sealer smell

I have a question for all you wise ones out there. I sell my projects at craft shows and in between shows I store them in several cardboard boxes. I also have the more delicate pieces in it's own individual box so if it gets sold, the buyer can get it home without damaging it. I don't close up any of the boxes so they have a chance to "de-stink" from the sealer I use but I noticed they still have a smell. I use Watco danish oil and Polyeurethane spray. I know that once the project is out for a while it will be o.k., but as sensitive and "lawsuit happy" people are these days I'm trying to cover all my bases. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Is there a quicker way besides time to de-stink? (the projects, not me.)

 

Thanks, Nicholas

I use lemon oil because it smells nice. Then I use an acrylic spray-on finish. Acrylic doesn't have any smell after cured. If you finish inside the house, I think Krylon makes an acrylic spray that is low odor. But that's my go-to finish: lemon oil followed by an acrylic spray.

Kinda. Pledge is in a spray can, which probably won't work so well. You can find Lemon Oil in the same area as Pledge. Its in a bottle and usually used with a rag to dust/oil furniture. I often find it near Old English furniture polish. Hardware stores often carry it as well. Its almost always found with the dusting section of the cleaning supplies aisle.
