<p>The moving air will pick-up the odors in the air and expel it out the opposite window (with the fan).</p>

<p>Leave the fan running for a couple hours, should remove most of the offensive odors.</p>

<p>I don't know if this works or not, haven't tried it yet but I heard on another forum that deep base tinting paint, if NOT tinted, will leave a semitransparent finish leaving the wood grain show. I've been wanting to try it for use on some outdoor projects where most finishs get zapped by the UV and the base would already haveUV blockers. Thought it was an interesting approach but haven't had time to persue it yet.</p>

<p>David: yeah I knew WHAT was going on, just how to combat it. Last night was the worst night of my life. Tonight even scares me...</p>
<p>John: I tried water-based stain before and I hated it. It was a race against time to get an even coat. You stop for even an instant and it shows. I heard about having vinegar near the project during drying, but never heard of scrubbing the project with it. Interesting...</p>

<p>Justin: I have a water-based finish, just an oil-based stain (see above as to why). I guess I'll just have to let it dry and let it gas-off on its own. Problem is, I live in Minnesota and it's December. I do have a friend of my brother's who is letting me use his detached woodshop to finish this project.</p>
<p>Thanks, all, for your input. I think this is a really good subject that hasn't been explored before. This is my largest project to date. On all my stuff before, the surface area wasn't anything compared to this captain's bed project. My brother Dan suggested I paint the bed instead, but I just can't see that being a good look in my head. I'm a stain kinda guy, but in this case, I hate the price I'm paying. lol</p> Don,

<p>Don,</p>
<p> I know that this will be a hindsight thing, but I have gone completely to water based finishes, especially for the V.O.C. issues that come with oil. There are still times where I use oil, but with the water based finishes, this isn't an issue. As the others have said, you need to let the piece dry for a good week or two for the poly/stain smell to subside. It even helps to leave the project outdoors in a shady spot to help with the fumigation of it.</p>
