Are you tired of the smell of paints an finishes? There are now several products on the market now that you add to your paint and when it starts to dry on the wall, this chemically reacts with those molecules that cause the odour and stop those odours.


It works with many different products, including latex paint and oil based paints but doesn't work with a couple of things, so always read the label carefully before even buying it.


If you want to get rid of latex paint, you could always just leave the can open until it got hard, then throw it away in the regular garbage. To speed up this process you can now buy a latex paint hardener, for solidifying waste paint quickly. Don't accidentally stir this stuff into your new gallon of paint.
