if you are that worried about it, let the box air out for a while before installing it.

What did you paint it with?  I've never heard of paint fumes eating away at anything.  I know spray paint itself will melt some foams, but i dont think its the fumes that cause that.  And what about wood glue?

I'm not positive about the fumes, but i know wood glues not gonna eat through it.  Most wood glues you buy aren't much different then regular old white school glue.
