Teak oil odor

[Len Urban]

Recently, I stained the inside of a box with teak oil. It's a closed box and the teak oil has left a strong unpleasant odor. Is there any way to get rid of the smell?

Thanks,

Air.

Even if it is dry, it might respond to a good wiping with odorless thinner. It might remove enough to speed things along.

Patience. Leave the box open in a well-ventilated area for 2 months.

Not sure air will do it. If its the stuff we used on our sailboat, I didn't find it that objectionable but it stayed around for awhile. I still recall stepping down into the cockpit and smelling it. Didn't mind - it reminded me of sailing.

Lot of air time, or a couple of coats of shellac.

Pretty much has to, else we've discovered a self-renewing vapor (energy?) source.

Thanks for the responses. I will try and be patient.
