I finished the work on my 41-221 chassis and now its time for the cabinet. It smells like its been sitting next to a campfire. I tried putting it in a bag with some charcoal for 2 weeks but that didn't make any difference. I'm thinking about trying Murphys Oil Soap to take away the smell. Any thoughts on that or other ideas?
