Hi guys,

Recently built some decoration (DIY) on room's wall with 3mm Plywood. Completed but the Stinky Smell really can't tahan and will irritating eyes too. Then, I tried to apply or painted a layer on the plywood and hope it c'ld kick off the smell and irritation but seems useless. Yes, when fan's On and Window's open ,No issue. After window closed again, issues appear again!

I'm wondering, Any product in the market like ACE or Jusco c'ld kick of the issues above? Might need your help and appreciate!
beh tahan ah...

you'd better throw it out. if it irritates you, i'm 1/2 sure it's VOC (volatile-organic-compound) at work. not good for health.

I wish to organic so...but, seems, plywood is the best stuffs for Money and Effect to built it.
Other than throw it away still throw it away? Nothing can do?

I'm wondering how those Reno Guys did it without smell or lesser smell and will just clear off after a month then?!

the wood you bought i think its been staying in wet room for long time, if you havent apply any paint, then you can take out and put it under hot sun.
but i m afraid that will not works if you already apply paint. sorry :S

Why Why Why...now you only reply my post?! haaaa.. Yup it was on the wall and paint with basic layer for somebody told me paint will kick off the gas...

But now trying to put the Coffee Ground, Soda water around the room and strong fan to blow over the open window..hopefully, it'll be something miracle soon...haaa..

good luck.....
maybe u still can try to take out and put under the hot sun, see what happen

This is what I do to my room. Always ensure that your room is well ventilated at all times. Turn on the air-cond to allow the air in the room to recycle. Get pandan leaves and placed them at every corner of your room. After few months, I no longer faced such problem. I'm just like you. Too late to notice this problem. Have to live with it and after few months, you'll be alright.

Thank God for meeting you, haaa..

Wow.. it takes a few months, bro?! Terrible smells and irritating issue ha?!
I think of Air-Cond too, but wondering whether the bed gas from plywood will stick in air-cond and release it again and caused health problem?

Confirmation issue, You use those hardware shop plywood as well? Caused the Stinky Smell and Irritating Eyes too?

batu arang / black coal will solve it too beside bluehyppo or pandan leave......

Exactly the same problem as yours. Irritating eyes and smells. If the gas is unberable, I'll eventually cry on the spot. My furniture are custom-made. Therefore, the contractor come over to my house and spray all those chemicals on the woods. Always remember to ensure your room windows are open at all times except night time where I switch on the air-cond instead. And beside that, I used lots charcoal and placed them around my room. Charcoal had the capability to absorb unwanted gas.

I don't think the gas will stick at the air-cond. Till today, my air-cond works fine with no funny smell coming out from it.

Thanks Guys!
Seems Charcoal also an good idea har.. will try it out!
So, how's the GAS from the plywood goes to when On the air-cond? Via Compressor? I'm just wanna make my mind clear about this Logical cycle..haaa..Sorry about that

Thanks for your patient to answer! Appreciate.
