Turn it on after you have allowed the coating to dry and heat it up for a few days to help eliminate
any smell or fumes that it may give off and you should be right to use it after that.

I like to run an enclosure for about 3 - 4 hours with no thermostat to fully thermally test the enclosure. I'll do this 2 or 3 times over a few days then give it a good scrub. I usually find the smell has cleared in that time.
