A reviewer mentioned a strong odor coming from the tape. Can anyone tell me how long the smell lasts, as I have a pet parrot to consider. Thanks!

I applied this tape to seal drafts from an old sliding window in a small bedroom. The window gets a few hours of direct sunlight. I have never detected any appreciable odor from the tape.

I don t felt any odor but when summer came the tape start loosing strength and the cool air started to get back in after all in December. But at least I didn t smell anything that bother me when I used. I try first in a few windows to checked.how its work. You can do the same and move your pet to another place. Thanks

I had no such trouble. The odor what it was...went away quickly...Could be bad tape?

There's no odour, or if there was its just momentary and I can't remember it.

"Strong Odor"-encountered nothing like that. It's tape. Like "Scotch" tape; only wider and a slight bit thicker. This is over-think for a simple, cheap (but useful) product.

Mine didn't really have a strong odor to it, but it did smell of plastic , but have no fear that goes away pretty quick, it's most likely from the heat of shipping containers and such, after one use mine was good to go, I have four of em and they are all okay now, I hope this helps Vanessa.

I know, that smell is disgusting to me, too! I opened it up outside when I got it and I did not notice any nasty smell from it or on my clothes later. One or two reviews I read said that the clotheslines streatched out after using for awhile and they replaced it with line of their choice later. So if this is a bad problem for you you could replace it with the narrow nylon type rope. FYI, Some said they needed to knot the line a little tighter at some point after using for awhile.

I thought it smelled simply horrible. Gagging, in fact. It did not cover the urine smell, and it was horrible. I keep a clean house, and have a new dog. She hadn't been trained, so I had some issues on my area rug. It is an expensive one, and I was concerned. This product did not work. I did use, and this does NOT take the color out, is used in hotels/motels/ eating establishments, daycares, etc. .......Clorox Urine remover and deod. You can look on line and see where you can buy it. I had to get mine through Staples. It did not take the color from my rug, and completely took out the smell, and stain.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

This probably won't be any help at all but the reality is the plastic itself smells and that it just has to go away with time. If you've washed it and are sure it's clean I'm sure it's safe for your animal food. But I've had mine for two weeks now, placed a large bag of dog food in it and had no issues with the smell...

The tape is essentially free from smell. It is worth buying and trying it out. BCP

Ok ... I called Bunn about this issue today and the customer service rep said that this smell occurs with some machines and goes away in 2 - 4 weeks. She said there is no danger and no malfunction. Something to do with epoxy hardening and conforming to the thermal tank.

It's not sticky on either side. It needs to be cut into whatever length (s) you want and then attached to something. Duct tape works well. The idea is that the reflection and movement of the tape deters the bird from coming too close or keeps the bird away from whatever it is that's attracting it. In my case it was my floor to ceiling windows where it could see its reflection and thought it was seeing another male bird intruder. I hung the strips the entire length of the windows spacing the strips maybe 3 or 4 inches apart. When the wind moved the strips, it stopped the bird from attacking the windows for about a day. After that, it adapted to the presence of the strips and they were useless. It's not sticky on either side. It needs to be cut into whatever length (s) you want and then attached to something.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

It's been a while but no, I do not remember any smell from this. I have a few other supps my shelf that smell horrible, but no, not this one. Does it have something from the sea? Usually that makes for a strong odor. Let me know if you notice a difference. I feel a lot better but tried so many supps & foods that I can't be sure of the reason I feel better. I am trying a new one now as even though I feel better I still have that creaking in my right knee. It doesn't hurt but that sound scares me.

I've not seen any problems. It's seems to be working and the vials were all full. I accidentally got some on my finger and it had the same smell and feel as it's suppose to. So I believe it's a good product to use. Sorry yours didn't maybe you could ask your vet to compare it.

I think you got a defect, there was no odor when I got mine. Doesn't sound safe for dog, I would return it!

Our bird flies around--so never have that issue. He is out of the cage when we use it.It's really good though, and I'm sensitive to smells. It is innocuous.

I purchased two. The first one the smell left quickly. the 2nd one, the smell lingered a bit longer. I recommend airing out a good week before using. It's not as bad a smell as other brands with worse ingredients, but it is a smell. I opened windows and left sheets off for a while as it was in our guest room.
