It has been eight days since we applied the new Dulux over the top of the sealant. We have had a fair bit of warm weather, and am happy to report that the cat urine type smell has gone, just a very very faint whiff of the sealant left.
I think we have cured it. good luck to everyone else!
Denis.

Re: This paint stinks!!!!

We did the same Ronnie, but the smell was back after three days hence the plan to use the sealer. I hope for your sake it has gone for good!

Re: This paint stinks!!!!

Another new victim of the smelly paint conspiracy here! We too recently painted the spare room out, now we have the cat urine smell.
