Did the terrible smell go away when the latex paint/top coat was applied?

Hi Katya! I started with 4 thin coats of the Magnetic primer... Yes the smell was pretty bad! Then, once it was fully dried, I lightly sanded it smooth and wiped it with a damp lint free cloth. Once it had dried again I applied 2 topcoats of the Rust-Oleum 206540 Chalkboard Brush-On, Black Latex paint, and YES the smell went away in a day or two after the latex dried.

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

Yes. I used it in the garage which is well ventalated, but I detect no odor from it at all. Give it a few day to a week.

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 bought this item also! The smell will go away by itself once you take it out of the box. Let the mannequin breathe and it should go away within a day.

It smelled while it was curing. We did keep it ventilated for the month we were applying since we kept running out of product and had to order more. We were on location on weekends only. It did have some odor when we returned each weekend but the place was closed up between applications. When we did our last application we closed our cabin for the season and didn't return. It will be May/June before we return. The product was sticky while it was wet and you do need a respirator and complete clothing coverage when applying. It is an amazing product.

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.

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

I unrolled the topper and left it on the bed for about 2 hours. Most of the odor was gone. Once I put the outlast cover and sheet on I went to bed and smelled nothing. I saw one review where somebody had an ongoing issue with it. But I have had none with this product. Money well spent.

This produces an oily layer that forms when curing. I used acetone to remove the oily layer after the cure was complete, then worked quickly to remove the acetone with soapy water to keep the acetone from degrading the epoxy. After that, I applied a latex paint, which has adhered for several years.

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.

This was done outside on our deck by my husband. I thought it smelled pretty awful; he did not (not uncommon). However, it dissipated in a reasonable amount of time. I remember suggesting a mask when he did the application, but he did not use one.

not really. After buffing, the smell should disapate in couple hours.I find the most odor stays in the house from the applicator and rags used. put them outside.

Because of the materials it smelled like a new car to me, although it dissipated reasonably fast I was never bothered by it. I can't remember when it went away but I've had it about 4 months and the smell has been gone awhile.

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

I feel like it's very low odor. I would open windows for the topcoat though. It is stronger than the stain for sure.

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.

I have to guess, not. Epoxy is similar to latex paint, in that it is chemically cured, so it becomes a molecular bond entwined in the fibers of the material, and once that has occurred, it is part of the cloth. There is a solvent that might remove it. If you have access to Windsor Newton acrylic brush cleaner, you could soak it overnight (that will remove years-old hardened acrylic/latex paints, don't know about epoxy.
