How long and how strong does the finish coat smell?

Not bad at all, but I live in So Cal and had all the windows open. If you have dogs, though, ticking around with their little nails, it will unfortunately lose its luster.

Not too bad. Different for everyone I'm sure, but no worse then painting. Didn't last very long and we did our floor in fall and we didn't do a lot of airing out.

It lasted a few days, and certainly had some smell. But it was not nearly as bad as a traditional polyurethane.

Not sure but this has a very strong smell. I will honestly use something else for clothing if I were you. GL

There's a smell when initially pulled out but it fades away instantly. Its heavy duty. Its not very thick but thin enough to form over the corners. Of course don't place too hot of items on it as it could shrivel.

I was putting on a coat every 30 minutes (dry to touch) I did 5 thin coats on my linoleum floor. Sets pretty fast, applied with a sponge. Probably takes 24 hours to fully cure.

I didn't finish a can yet. I got a nice finish with 4-5 light coats. I guess it depends on the wood. I had dry unfinished wood. I hope that helps.

It did not have a stond smell. However, I do recommend this product. It is a waste of money and the clear coat is awful. You would be better off just buying regular paint. I followed the directions to the T, bought expensive brushes and my cabinets look horrible.

to be honest. after first cleaning it somewhat strong, but aired it out for bout 15-20 mins and to me no problem light smell which lasted a day or two and then all gone.

I'm on my 4th application (using 2 coats each time) and I'm about halfway through the bottle. So if you only do one coat, it could last around 12-16 applications I'd say.

I just took mine off the mantle and put on the end table. Couldn't smell it until it was right next to me You can still smell a faint but nice vanilla. I've had mine for over a year.

Hi, Well it is very light and I would say it takes a few minutes to dissipate. I just tested and it's been 15mins and I don't smell any fragrance. Good luck.

There was def a smell . It lasted for awhile can't remember exactly how long but it did eventually go away. It was more then 3 weeks for sure.

I bought two of them in the past two years. I didn't remember the strong smell like you sensed. I am not sure if the smell is from new paint.

it's a bit hard to describe but you can smell chemicals. It's a bit strong but it only lasts for about 20 minutes then the smell goes away. it's not necessarily a bad smell but it's strong.

I think the manufacturer would have to answer that, but I can tell you that there are no fumes as I have experienced when working on wood with Min Wax, etc. The finish is dark, lustrous, and well coated with something protective so that it seems very scuff resistant. I have mine in a knook that used to be a closet. I took the door off a coat closet at the front entrance of my home. Then I assembled the bench inside the knook for shoes. It is beautiful. I made a cushion to cover it. I absolutely love it! I got a mahogany colored one. I put hooks up on the walls in the knook for coats, etc. I'm so proud of this coat knook with the bench.

It does smell while wet...like a weak spicy turpentine, it is not bad. When dry it has no odor whatsoever, but it can take a few days to fully dry. It is the least caustic finish I have ever used.

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I don't recall it having a strong odor. If it had a smell at all it was very minimal. I'll check again this evening when I'm home and reply back for certain.
