Paint Smells Bad After Drying

When winter arrived the smell went away so we assumed that the smell had just been the paint drying fully.

Paint smells bad after drying. Environment protection agency or epa oil based paints also can irritate the eyes and skin even causing the skin to crackle. Besides inhaling excess of paint smell all at a time is not good for health. Oil based paints dry slowly.

After painting plan to keep windows as open as possible for two to three days in order to allow paint fumes to exit the room. Removing these fumes and the smell can be difficult. Paint has gone bad when it has a strong rancid odor.

Should i remove the paint and apply fresh paint. Allow the walls to dry completely. For paint that dries and still has a persistent smell try washing the walls with a mixture of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water then rinse with plain water and a clean sponge.

It smelled quite bad and was very watery on top. This is because the damp coats of primer or paint remains trapped underneath the dry coat and can emit toxic gases slowly for several years. I ignored this stirred it and painted a ceiling with it.

A week later the room still smells pretty awful like cat pee. That s the first time i have heard of a cat putting the lid down after having a peee. Always apply new coat of oil or latex paint after the last coat dries.
