I just bought this product for my drawings and it has terrible smell. How long do I have to wait to get rid of it?

I'm pretty sure it says on the can to use in a well ventilated area specifically for this reason. Additionally, most of these products(fixative, finishes, etc..) will have a smell to them and should be used with good ventilation.

I spray mine out of doors and us several light coats instead of one heavy one. As soon as it dries the smell goes away.

By now you already know... the smell is gone. Been using the study since it was invented... and I'm still alive! It works.

I did not have a smell on my cans after I used them. Maybe you got a bad batch of spray.

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

That's correct, soaking the item in warm water and baking soda will remove the smell quickly. Thanks for shopping with DGS Novelties.

Get a lint roller, they're like 2 dollars at most grocery stores and will get rid of the weird feather/dust stuff. As for the smell, that's just the scent of factory, just keep the bean bag in a place with a good amount of air circulation and the smell will go away on its own after about 2 weeks.

The smell is temporary - may be 30-45 days.You could get rid of it quicker, if you leave it under the sun in your backyard during the day when you go to work and take it back after sunset. If you do that 4-5 times, you may get rid of 70-80% of the smell in a week.

once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!! What i have done to get the mildew or wet dog smell out is soak similar colors for up to an hour or overnight is they are close colors...i have had problems with the colors leaking onto lighter colors...so make sure they are similar. I would use a big heaping scoop in a bucket of hot water and soak away and wash in hot water with another scoop after soaking. took care of my stuff:) Hope I helped!! OOh and as the person below said vinegar is amazing!!! I just wash it once with vinegar, wash again with baking soda if needed, then another round with detergent also...that is for the really bad stuff. once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!!

I actually didn't get rid of the odor. It did go away after a few weeks of being outside in the toy shed. How ever I did have to wash it once cause my boys got it covered in mud. When I washed it I used auto soap that I normally use on my car. After that point there was a mild odor still from the car but now it has no odor at all. So it will go away with time.

i would spray the white nok out on the item first. let the nok out dry and try a smell test. it should remove theodor. if this does not work then try the yellow.

I think the smell went away when it dried. I was painting a few things at the same time so I'm not sure what smelled when, but the smell of all the paints and primers I used was gone within a day or two.

I did not smell any strong oders. There was a low oder that dissipated by the 3rd day. Also, I used this paint in the bathroom and left the fan on for a day.

Run it for twenty or thirty minutes outside - it will burn off the residue that is causing the bad smell - then just bring it in and turn it on. For the most part it works very well.

I put it in a sealed plastic bag with some lavender flowers and that helped a little. Baking soda might work, too. Eventually the chemical smell wore off.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

If the smell isn't bad like there is a fire, it is normal. Dust and chemicals just have to burn off. But it shouldn't last more than a few hours at the most.

I don't think 2-3 days would cause a lasting odor. I had to wash everything after storage, but then it was fine. My original objection was against the implication that clothes and linens could be used immediately after storage. If there is an odor after shipping, just wash things.
