You will likely need to do 2-3 applications the first time and will have to repeat this every 3-6 months. Otherwise, to really seal the wood through paint, you need to use "Kilz" (or something similar) before painting with your final color.

We have a 50 year old house that has kitchen cabinets framed out of sappy Yellow Pine. When you open the cabinets or pull open a drawer the smell of rotting wood is very offending. We have tried spraying the wood under the counters with a vinegar. That stopped it for a month. We recently painted the raw wood with a primer and a coat of oil base paint and that lasted about a month. Outside of calling in a bulldozer can you suggest anything that maybe applied to the wood to rid the odor? What about the Old Wood smell.
