Unfortunately, the wall odour hasn't gone for me. I tried the alkali sealer, odour blockers, etc and nothing worked. Eventually, I stripped the paint off and the smell has been absorbed into the plasterboard so it all has to be replaced. So if you cant get rid of the smell by alkali resistant sealer...

Hi Sapphy, I'm not an expert, just another person experiencing wall odour. I would think it would be fine to try the alkali resistant sealer on the paper. I dont think normal paint would block the odour so there isn't much alternative I'm afraid. I have heard that oil based undercoat has worked and ...

Just thought I'd do a quick and depressing update for anyone interested as it seems there are alot of other people also affected by this problem. After finding out that shellac primer is the best odour blocker (which I'd already tried) and at one point the wall odour smell was coming through the cei...

Wall Odour - will Zinsser Bin fix it?

Hi, I have wall odour from using Crown Breatheasy paint and despite using the Crown sealer and repainting (twice!) the smell is still there. I was wondering if Zinsser Bin would be able to totally block the smell and also is there a lingering smell after using it and how long does it last. Thank you...
