What happens here

Begin by identifying the source of the unpleasant odors. In this case, the cedar bottoms of the dresser drawers were causing strong, unwanted smells. The chosen solution is Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac, a product specifically designed to seal odors in wood. Carefully pour the shellac from its can into the cup of your HVLP sprayer, ensuring not to overfill and using a funnel if necessary to prevent spills.

Goal: Confirm the odor source and ready the shellac for application.

Tools and materials

  • Dresser — The furniture piece to be treated for odor elimination

So today I'm working with a piece of furniture that the customer was really unhappy with the odors coming from This dresser and what I narrowed it down to is the drawers themselves the drawers have cedar bottoms I don't know maybe the ward off moss bugs, etc But it smelled really bad and so in order to eliminate these odors I got a Zinzer product. This is a shellac based product that helps eliminate odors coming from wood
