He lucked out, bacause he's in SC so oil base paint may still be available to prevent sticking to everything. I painted my kids bookshelf and waited for two months and it still sticks to all the pictures frames and books. What a PITA.
Even since then, everything is Maple with clear pre-cat lacquer.
