no you should be allright just make sure that it is all the way dry before you put anything in there.

you have to post some pics of your stand.

Sp long as the poly has had the chance to fullly dry and cure it will be fine. I've used both oil and water based poly on different things and found the oil to resist salt better. I haven't found any ill effects that would warrant paying for $40/qt for 'food grade' poly.
