I don't know how to describe an appropriate thread title...
I have a cabinet/workbench I assembled from a kit. The cabinet was where spa chemicals were stored. Essentially just chlorine and test reagents. Over time the chlorine had corroded the cabinet hardware (hinges). The spa is long gone.

I managed to cut the hinges apart to get the doors off the cabinet, remove the corroded hardware, dowel the screw holes and replace the hinges. I then removed the new hardware, sanded and repainted the interior. All was good, or so I thought.
I had stored my popcorn machine in the refurbished cabinet space but after ~12 months, I noticed some of the metallic parts on the machine were becoming corroded. Obviously, whatever permeated into the panels is still out gassing.
I painted the cabinet interior with Rustoleum spray Ultra-Cover primer and white paint. I suspect what ever got into the wood is also most likely in an inaccessible place that wasn't painted. I may have to rebuild that area of the cabinet with new wood. However, I want to try to re-paint the interior before cutting out portions of the cabinet.
Any suggestions as to with kind of coating I should try? This is going to be a project for late summer.
TIA
