Don't normally get these types if jobs. There was a small fire in this home. No smoke stains but lingering smoke odor. Will coverstain work or do I need Bin? I've never sprayed bin other than out of a rattle can and would like to avoid it if possible. Thanks

Nothing beats the OG Shellac for these jobs. We tested all of them before I went in and sealed up all those apartments after the fire a few years ago, (see thread death by shellac). Even the oils that are somewhat effective tend to leave their own stank behind, but none are as effective as shellac.

That sort of what I was afraid of but I may just bite the bullet and use it. Are you guys using full face respirators when spraying it or is the standard half face respirator good enough? I'm spraying around 800 ft so not too terribly large of an area.

The risk with Bin is fire hazard (sparks), as you are basically creating an alcohol-based smog in a contained environment. A (pink) vapor cartridge would be minimal, but cant go wrong with full face respirator.

I cant imagine spraying either of the two options inside on a large scale. I would probably roll CS if I were doing the job, although I typically pass on exposure to that much fumes when possible.

Yeah I agree, better to avoid it all together. It's out of my normal scope but we've gotten a bit quiet so I figured it wouldn't hurt to take it on. They've got popcorn ceilings or we probably wouldn't be spraying.
