I have built a container for my cat litter tray in the hallway to keep it out of sight and out of mind and it is looking pretty good, but wondering about the long term viability in terms of build up of cat piss. The litter tray itself is a massive stainless steel one with tall sides so not super worried, but wondering is there anything at all I can do for a bit more peace of mind?

Perfect thanks will check it out

Wear a mask and apply it and let it cure somewhere covered but with very high airflow, like outside under a covered porch. Some people are really cavalier with the VOCs, but they can absolutely mess you up.

Just to add on to this: let it cure completely! Those VOCs may be just below perceptible to you, but that little kitty is way more sensitive to the harmful effects

Oh absolutely. Way safer to overestimate the cure time than underestimate and hurt Kitty.
