How about the odor? Not just VOC, but low odor. I bought a low VOC paint for the last room I painted and it had a strong odor for weeks

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.

it has a very low odor i used it to do some work around the kitchen sink and walls plus it all depends on your paint on your walls right now if it the color is not eggshell white then i would not use this but if it is then your alright?

Very slight oder, maybe from the dye or the plastics. I would say it would disappear in few weeks at the most.

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

Very bad smell actually: Probably paint's or MDF's. It will eventually go away unfortunately after the kidz have inhaled it for a while.

There is definitely a smell, but that's normal for most items requiring a solvent. I actually like the smell, but my wife didn't. No big deal, just opened the windows for an hour or so and it was fine.

Hi Peggy - I honestly didn't have an issue with the crate's odor. Perhaps for a short while after unpacking it, but after airing out I can't say the odor was noticeable. For us it was all about the durability and not holding up for more than a few hours. Good news is we were able to return it easily.

I did not experience any paint smell. It really has worked out great for us. Very easy to clean

The paint is awful and old & it will ruin your paint job so don't use it. It stinks. Got to Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams & get a good oil based fresh paint. I called Zinser & they said it was old stock & it has to be fresh & why my paint job looks awful. I got all the paint off & worked for weeks for all my hard work to be ruined. Just call them & ask about tsp & check if it expired if u must use it. I learned the hard way & then to find it is not good. If it gets cold or two hot you get a terrible lumpy mess or some is solid some streaky & u think I just need a better brush so u try a roller & you never had a chance.

I guess there was a strong odor of stain but I didn't detect gasoline smell. My bench is outdoors so the smell has totally dissipated. If using indoors, I'm not sure how long it will take for the odor to go away.

I have had one since Christmas and I can still smell it but it is not strong anymore. Any varnish will take time to dissipate. Give it time.

Ok ... I called Bunn about this issue today and the customer service rep said that this smell occurs with some machines and goes away in 2 - 4 weeks. She said there is no danger and no malfunction. Something to do with epoxy hardening and conforming to the thermal tank.

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 had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days

I did not detect any strong odor, but if I had, I would've wiped it down with a small amount of Lysol mixed with warm water. I would've let it air for a few hours outdoors.

It smelled bad when I first got it out of the box but it's fine now. I very highly doubt there is something chemically unsafe about the painting.

If you really want it to last longer, of course a coat of paint will help. I use a clear coat of varnish on mine. Be sure to let it dry well and hang outside to get rid of fumes.

What does this matter, VOC's are only released when the paint dries, there are no Volatile Organic Compounds left when the paint is dry. Hence the name Volatile. If the paint is applied in a facility (which it is) there is no VOC's released into the atmosphere as the fumes (vapors) are captured in the paint booth vent system.
