Anyone know about castin in resin?

[mummytait]

I am using casting resin for the first time and it has come with no instructions for use. I have managed to mix and set the resin but it smells really bad. Can anyone help with some advice for getting rid of the smell please?

mummytait:
preventivily the best answer is to use a well ventilated area... if you have access to mixing and pouring the resin outside (weather permitting) I would recommend that, oh and utilizing an Odorless White urethane the next time.

as for masking or removing what damage has already been done...that stench will last, i don't think hepa filter will help but maybe a ionic tall air filter may remove some of the odor and maybe some strong Air freshener.
I hope it helps...

Thanks Will H

my problem was with the newly cast resin, which over the last few days smells much less. So I guess the answer is time and patience, neither of which I have an excess of. I appreciate the advice though and I have access to a fume cabinet which I will use next time.
