I have used B-I-N before on spots on plywood this was years ago. I never heard anyone complain about the smell again. So maybe it worked.

They do sell enzymes that are suppose to work with pet odors. I think they come in liquid and powder form to mix up not sure if they work for wood surfaces tho.

Perhaps an odor removal:

Use a solution like this in a spray bottle and spray down the whole floor, let room dry out, then follow that with your oil primer.

Be sure to deodorize the walls around the area of the urine like in corners of the room or the smell will never go away.

Just a thought...

Well thanks for your responses, i was going to use a shellac to seal but wasnt sure about using some type of solution first as Jason has pointed out...I guess i will do both!!! The smell is awful

The only thing worse is cat pee
And the only sure thing is Floor Removal

However, having said that....it might just be possible to give the place a complete douching with an enzymatic cleaner, and then shellac it
That might work if it's not too bad

And "J-bird" just picked which side of the fence he sits on? hmmm? Hope you're on the winning team friend. There is a pet odor on that side ... come over to the side where everything smells like roses!
Ahh my friend, easy does it. :thumbsup: I am only teasing. "He he he... he said Paint..." was more geared toward the fact of what this forum is about and the fact you said paint was funny to me because most of which is talked about is not paint, so it seems..... There is alot of BS'n on here and that is fine. You really have to be here for a while to understand personalities and who can joke with who with out an offense. I also see a trend between certain members: who likes who or who doesn't like the other... It's interesting to watch.

I don't necessarily want to be on one side of the fence or the other in this case. I enjoy what everyone puts into this forum regardless if they make me laugh or not. Regardless if it is nonsense or not. Love believes in the best for all. It doesn't separate one man from another. I don't agree with everyones response to this or that, nor am I out to change them because I don't agree. Not implying anyone here is trying to change anyone. My point is, this is a forum and we are in a place where it's easy to be fake or real, who really knows anyone unless you have spent some real time with them in person? So, for me to get the panties in a wad over how someone IMO is rude, just is not worth the time or effort to talk about. I let it go. Life is all to important to worry about attitudes and other peoples problems. Speak LIFE to each other instead of DEATH and the world can be a different place. eh? :) (speaking to general public here)

Back to the odor thing, would an ozone machine work in this situation if it is severe? I expect to have a simliar problem when my daughter (college student) moves out of my other house. I have told her no tomcats! Females may spray like tomcats, I don't know, but I know the tomcats have a very strong odor and I can't handle that.

Not really
It'll help the air as you are working
And it'll help as the odors get released if you leave it going
But it won't cure or stop a severe problem by any stretch of the imagination

1) This is not a contest as to who had the correct advice, or who's advice gets taken
Many times there are many solutions that will work
It's great that we all have different ways of dealing with things
2) He took my advice from post #8
