Salty,
I install and finish floors for a living and am the Waterlox dealer for Nantucket. The smell is very hard to get rid of but I believe that, if left to dry properly, diminshes tremendously. We have to deliver homes here and the smell cooperates with proper ventilation. It is the best wood sealant I have ever worked with but it certainly is very potent material. Waterlox has come out with a low V.O.C. (Mass compliant) mix for this year which will have significant reduced odor.
