Paint smell

[andrewlee]

I've been gloss painting, and the smell is awful! Any tips on how to get rid or disguise it?

Try a dish of vinegar as suggested for strong smells: http://frugalliving.about.com/cs/tips/a/blvinodor.htm I use it for the occasional cat odour hanging around and works for that. You get a faint whiff of the vinegar in the air but thats a lot better than the alternative!

Chop an onion in half and leave it in the room you have been painting.
