Hey Doug,
Did you get the email I sent with the Cambro catalog attached? I think I finally got it to go through but never heard back from you. I know sometimes emails with large attachments end up in my bulk folder so I thought I'd check and make sure.
I'm not sure when people stopped recommend using solvent based finishes in enclosed cabinets, but I read it a lot on various woodworking forums. Part of it has to do with modern VOC restrictions and how the polyurethane of today is not able to cure as completely and as quickly as they did 20 years ago. But I think some of it has to do with the modern understanding and concern with the effects of long-term offgassing.
Regardless, I have read posts from custom cabinet builders who used catalyzed conversion varnish on all of their work but switch to waterborne for the inside of drawers, etc.
Honestly a lot of this will all be a non-issue in a few years when the 2011 VOC restrictions are in full effect. None of this stuff will be available anyways. ----- Currently keeping:
6.10 Gonyosoma oxycephalum (Javan, mixed colors)
0.0.4 Rhynchophis boulengeri
1.1 Philodryas baroni
1.1 Lampropeltis triangulum multistriata
0.0.1 Rhamphiophis rubropunctatus
0.0.2 Morelia viridis (Aru & Merauke locale types)
1.0 Rhodesian Ridgeback
