How is the smell during installation, immediately after installation, and a few weeks and months out?

To be honest I think it was only a few hours. I used mine in the back and the roof of a xplorer. But it wasn't that strong

It was also winter when I put it up. Not sure if that makes a difference but come summer I never smelled anything and nothing fell down

No smell at all during or after installation. I have had it for 6 months now and it sounds so good inside the truck with my 2 12s. Its easy to apply. I have in under the carpet, door panels, headliner and front and back of the walls of my 1999 silverado ext cab. Wonderful and alot cheaper than those other brands.

Applied to the inner door and quarter panels of my 65 Corvair convertible.........no noticeable odor and really deadened the sound.......the doors now "thunk" when closed. I am about to apply it to the rear inside panel and rear floor under seats.

Since the installation is in a "under construction" vehicle and is exposed, I cannot give an answer. I did use the Boom mat spray in my Challenger a week ago and there is no odor. And the road noise is down considerably.

I used it to take out the vibrations in the hall of new aluminum off shore boat that I bought. I never noticed a smell at all. The Fat Mat worked wonders to take out the vibration.

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

It was a temporary, "new foam" smell. Not obnoxious. Like when you get a new car and it has a new car smell, except the new foam smell was subtle and went away fairly quickly. I remain pleased with the purchase.

I have had no issues in my vehicle with any odor. I have the on the inner firewall and inside the hood which gets quite warm. Just use a roller to make sure it sticks. Sounds like a good idea you have.

There was def a smell . It lasted for awhile can't remember exactly how long but it did eventually go away. It was more then 3 weeks for sure.

I haven't noticed any odors from this unit. I have soft water so cleaning has not been an issue. I didn't use it for close to two weeks and I did not notice the unit getting dirty (mildew or white dust).

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

I've had my mats on for about a month now. I used an air freshener to combat the smell and it's pretty much all gone....or I'm just used to it.

I installed mine my self and it gave off a smell for the first day or so but nothing real noticeable from that point until this day.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

Didn't notice any smell at all. Maybe its just the new unit smell but it doesn't last. i would take it as a clean air smell.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

I never noticed any unusual odor but just air it out for a while before you install it you won't have a problem this is a great quality product.

I would recommend no sooner than an hour ! even after that, there is a slight residual ozone odor, but if you can open windows and doors, it will be totally gone sooner.
