Question from kislev28

I have a bed that was built from formica. However, the underside of the bed is not finished with the formica it is just the raw pressboard. After a few years the bed has a terrible smell and I have to assume that its from the pressboard. Any ideas of how to get rid of this smell. I was going to try to seal the pressboard with polyurethane. Do you think this will work or do you have any other suggestions. I’m desperate

Debra’s Answer

You need a sealant designed to seal in chemical fumes, such as AFM Safe Seal.
