How smelly is this? I recently used briwax, and the solvent aroma lingers for days.

It does have a smell when applying, like a polyurethane almost. I have to do it outside and wear a mask due to easily getting migraines from the fumes BUT, I tend to be sensitive with smells and once it's dry, there's no smell at all. It's awesome. Takes some elbow grease to polish but it turns out beautiful.

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.

Garth~ The Minwax Finishing Wax is great! Goes on smoothly and has almost No scent at all. I too have used Briwax and I'm trying to use it up (outside) on my refinishing pieces because I don't like the oder either. I recommend that you purchase Minwax. I think you will like it and I also liked the price (1/2 of what Briwax costs!)

It does have some solvent aroma, but not strong. I use the disappearance of the aromaas the indicator that it is ready for final polishing, which can be from 8 hours to twodays depending on the room temperature and how heavily it was applied. (It takes a good shine within an hour or so, but the really glowing shine comes from polishing it with wool after it is very dry.)

I also did not notice the odor, but I would guess that within a short period of time this would disappear. As with most things I did have minor problem with was to place outside for a few days.

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.

There is no smell. I use it for making my own mayonnaise. I also use it for lotions ,etc. I use it so quickly that I do not know the shelf life. I keep it in a cool place or refrigerate it.

The smell is not bad. I used a water based top coat that I bought locally. FYI I still love the results!

I did not have your experience. My Sleepypod did not have any "chemical" smell.

Mine had a slight herbal smell. Try mixing with an essential oil like lavender.

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

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.

to be honest. after first cleaning it somewhat strong, but aired it out for bout 15-20 mins and to me no problem light smell which lasted a day or two and then all gone.

Mine had a few bumps, but that's to be expected with an unrefined oil. I have no complaints about the smell. It smells wonderfull! If the jar you have has a lot of fine little beads in it, then it has most likely been heated up to the point where it is liquefied more than once. I have had that happen with other brands of coconut oil that I kept in rooms that were around 70 degrees. It liquefied, and when it hardened again it had little bumps in it.

I never noticed the smell - but i am going to try some Lysol spray and see if that takes care of it.

No I did not get that smell but you may want to try some baking soda in a bowl and leave it in there for awhile.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.
