Hi, I've raised this before and had some good advice, but the issue is still persisting.
A friends bedroom needed painting. Painted with crown, which ended up in the sour paint issue. Crown gave me some sealer which didn't work. I decided to start from scratch and stripped the wallpaper. A sour smell anymore but the plaster underneath the old wallpaper really really smelled strongly of wet plaster. Which considering all the steam used from the wallpaper stripper I wasn't surprised. Because time was tight I started papering the next day, I've just put up one layer of wall paper which all I was intending to do. I was expecting the plaster smell to go but 2 months later, the room and walls still smell really really strong of plaster. It gives you a sore noise if your in there too long. I've tried a dehumidifier for weeks and heating, but nothing is helping the strong smell of plaster. Ive now painted one wall (on the wallpaper) to see if that would help, but it doesn't. The smell of plaster is a nightmare, which has left the room unusable due to the smell and the physical problems the smell is causing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, I really need some advice.
