discussion Disgusting smell

I was doing some masking on the Dakotas today and broke out the Humbrol Maskol, does anyone use another product that smells as bad?

I remember Humbrol Maskol smelling like the rubber factory in the old part of town.

I recall it having a rancid fish smell.

 

[AlanG]

It does stink. Very much an ammonia smell. As SWMBO says. Wet nappies smell

 

[John]

Cat p**$ it does have a strong ammonia smell.

More like ammonia as they use some kind of chemical to process raw latex into rubber. The people that lived near that factory must have a strong nose.

I thought the ammonia content in that stuff attacked acrylic paint. Are you using it on them?

 

[davecov]

It is the latex combined with ammonia. Same as Copydex glue which also makes you heave.

Anyone remember Seccotine? - really fishy glue ( before the current PVA type )

I only know something that sounds like that to speed up oil paint drying and it's not glue.

Yes Dave, Seccotine was made from fish waste.

Oh yes I remember using it with my grandmother

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hide glue (used In woodwork) is made similarly from animal waste…..not seen it for years though.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Blimey, you can still get seccotine……

Wood Glue - I always associate with my maternal grandfather - he always had a pot of cascamite pearl glue on the go in his shed - he was an inveterate fettler - making item out of discarded junk - making a hand scythe out of a barrel hoop fascinated me......... They lived in a two up two down terraced house, with the WC in a block on the other side of the unmade road. One tap, no bathroom. The house belonged to his father, who gave it to him as a wedding present ( in 1919 ) - he died there in 1971, never having lived anywhere else ( apart from WWI Army service ). I think Bridlington, Morecambe & Scarborough were the furthest he went, after demobbing!
