Is Clear Acrylic Spray a Bad Idea to Seal a Wood Rack?

I recently constructed a temporary bp rack from a shelf and some counter top board. I figured I should seal the countertop on the bottom of each shelf to prevent the wood from retaining moisture above the tubs. I used krylon clear acrylic gloss and let the shelves dry outside overnight. Brought it back in and it still smells a little like paint fumes so I put a fan on it. It didnt really cross my mind the clear acrylic would be a problem but now Im worried. What do you think?

does it still smell? Those sprays take a while to air out, I would personally wait a week of it being away from any animals (or two or more) because they need to sit and defume

to help speed up the process, you can put a bowl of water on each shelf. It is supposed to help absorber the fumes. Candles work well to burn off the fumes, but with a rack, that probably isn't a good idea.

I bought a used melamine rack last summer. I thought it would be cool to spray paint the entire thing silver. Then I noticed that every time i touched it, silvery particles ended up on my hands, so I used the clear krylon gloss spray on the "ceilings" of all the tub bins. The rack was left to dry for about a month and a half while waiting for eggs to hatch. I have not had any problems with the babies or the rack. The clear spray does seem (so far) to be an ok water repellent/sealer, as I've not noticed any rotting thus far in the areas where I acidentally powerwashed the melamine coating away. My rack probaly has 3 coats of spray on the ceilings.

Min-wax polyurethane is best in my opinion. Give it 3-5 days to dry and air out, then you are good to go.
