I used bin shellac primer to seal the cigarette smell in the dry wall. I applied two layers of the primer at around 55 f to 60 f. The next day, I applied top paint which is Benjamin Moore regal select. However I found the smell from the BIN primer does not reduce over time. Now I have complaining customers. What should I do now? Will the smell go away eventually after they turn on heat in the house?

WHY???:blink:

Just on the safe side that the nicotine Oder gets sealed in.

Yeah.. the problem is that BIN has a milky smell. It smells different from low voc paint. The customer does not like it. I used Kilz max for other rooms. They smell too, but it is the regular water based paint smell that most people are used too.

It does take a while sometimes. The more area and more coats make it stronger, of course.
Hopefully it had enough time and cross ventilation so the bin could dry well and gas out. I don't think you can do much now other than ask them to get fresh air through the house for a while.

Never thought that the low temperature in Oct makes things different

Anyone has some experience on this?

Because only one room has been affected by nicotine. Others are not. Just to save a few bucks.

I sprayed some t&g boards last week with bin for an install. The cut offs i threw in my garage still have that sweet alcohol/long night of drinking essence about them today.

I don't mind the smell but could see it being any issue if that sloppy wine night scent brings back memories for some people. :whistling2:

Why did you use two different products on the same job for the same issue?
