I'm thinking of getting an Ikea wardrobe cabinet (Pax), but the sides of the shelves are exposed particle board. The inside of the sidewalls have peg holes for the adjustable shelves. These holes (approx. 1/4" round and deep) are also exposed particle board. Which AFM product would be best to use to seal these? In addition, if I decide to seal the whole cabinet (the Ikea description says it is made of fibreboard and paper foil) which AFM product would I use? Are AFM sealer products completely inert when dry? (i.e. absolutely no smell) SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Safe Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

Use two coats of AFM SafeSeal on all exposed particle board. Use a Q-tip in the holes. Do not use on the paper foil as it will not soak into the wood. Yes, when fully cured, there is no odor. This might take a full week in normal temp and humidity or longer if very humid or cold.
