Hello folks on the forum.
A rather desperate new member is here seeking advice.
Having recently re-sanded my Mums dining/living room and hallway, i've applied Bourne Seal, just as i did some 13 years ago when she moved in and found parquet flooring under the carpets. It looks great.
No problems then but this time around my Mum has had some sort of allergic reaction to the smell of the Bourne Seal.
It was finished some 4 weeks ago now and whilst there is still a hint of the vapours sometimes, i find it's 99% gone but she is not able to live here at all and is sleeping instead at my sisters. A big problem.
I suggested she look at fumigation as a way to help remove any remaining odours but she now says the only solution for her is that "it simply has to come off". She has also said previously that "it will never go" to which i took exception but this is clearly how she now feels.
I have suggested this will only create more problems as there are now 4 coats of Bourne Seal to be sanded off and feel this would only create more problems with the actual dust particles the ineviatbly get everywhere, even though she already has someone lined up to do it.
If anyone here has either experienced similar problems with vapours from Bourne Seal then please let me know, though more urgent is advice on the consequence of now removing these coast of Bourne seal.
I'm very grateful for any relevant advice as the problem has become all consuming these past few weeks and i'm not expereinced enough to know what's for the best and the problem has now caused divisions and argument within the home.
Many thanks,
Kev.
