7/31/2008 2:28:03 AM

you'll be fine.


did you like open a window or something?

[Edited on July 31, 2008 at 2:29 AM. Reason : you aren't tripping on paint primer btw...]

[Edited on July 31, 2008 at 2:30 AM. Reason : and did you really need to read the caution labels to realize paint fumes aren't exactly oxygen?]

7/31/2008 2:28:58 AM

yeah, windows and doors

i just cant stand to smell it anymore and its still in my nose or whatever, im at my new place now, i was painting the old place

it just smells so bad i cant stand it

anywho

glad to see TWW is always here for me when i need them

a) you aren't tripping. if you are tripping then go to sleep and stop looking at a computer screen.

b) if you had brain damage it wouldn't come in the form of smelling like paint forever.

c) go to sleep, you will be fine when you wake up

7/31/2008 2:32:31 AM

7/31/2008 2:33:04 AM

yeah, i'd probably kill myself if my sense of smell was permanently ruined, everything smells like dead fish right now, im serious, its awful

hahaha

i'll report back in the morning

7/31/2008 2:34:25 AM

when you wake up write me a 5 paragraph essay on your experience and what you have learned.

7/31/2008 2:35:21 AM

U hear me?

7/31/2008 2:35:48 AM

7/31/2008 2:37:15 AM

good job getting high off of paint fumes

7/31/2008 2:37:34 AM

ugh i hate this

7/31/2008 2:40:40 AM

go to sleep.

staying awake can only make it worse. (and you're just going to whine more)

7/31/2008 2:42:33 AM

well go to bed, you'll feel better in the morning

7/31/2008 2:42:42 AM

you have the classic case of paint boogers, the volatiles condense on your nose hairs and mucous membranes, blow your nose, pick out the sticky blobs, and deal with the hairs that are stuck to them


you should try painting farm equipment with epoxy from a hvlp gun

7/31/2008 8:02:01 AM

why cant you pm someone back?

7/31/2008 8:52:22 AM

they do sell primer and paint that is low odor. next time ask for it.

7/31/2008 10:24:56 AM

Been painting for YEARS. I mean, since I was 17, professionally. Most water-based home paints might make you a little dizzy, but they are, for the most part, not an inhalation hazard. Oil-based, or alkyd resin, is a little different, as the vehicle usually contains Stoddard solvent (which usually has a trace of benzene in it as a partial distillate when making mineral spirits/Stoddard solvent), and that can definitely get you a little goofy.

But there should be no long-term effects from the bit of inhalation you've been doing. Industrial paints with epoxy and/or urethane resins, as well as some of their catalysts (which contain di-isocyanates) pose much more of an inhalation hazard, both from an allergy perspective and an organic solvent perspective. Even common industrial enamel contains xylene and toluene, as well as a host of other solvents which pose inhalation and transdermal hazards. Some even contain lead (yellows, mostly). House paint? Nah...

7/31/2008 10:39:03 AM

better be a damn good essay.

7/31/2008 1:27:58 PM

i too painted last night and am still feeling a little off.

7/31/2008 1:31:29 PM

^^^ i used oil-based primer

im going to die arent i?

i still feel like shit and am still smelling it, my throat is sore and my sinus' feel pretty dry

OH NOES

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET THIS STUFF OFF MY SKIN?

7/31/2008 5:11:03 PM

come take a shower at my place lol

7/31/2008 5:12:06 PM

It'll go away in a couple of days. Keep that room ventillated well for a little while.

7/31/2008 5:23:27 PM

I had to paint my entire place in Raleigh with primer before I moved out- but I didn't start until 2 days before I left so I could still smell it almost everywhere.

I also used a little here (only one wall repainting)- and there's no more paint smell. I'm sure it'll be fine

7/31/2008 5:23:29 PM

no no, i moved out of that place, but I CAN STILL SMELL IT seeee?

had a shower, new clothes but i still smell it, ugh, i just looked up the MSDS on it and it seems ok, i dont know what their definition of "overexposure" is tho, looking that up now

7/31/2008 5:26:04 PM

imo you are just worrying too much...like a placebo type thing except opposite

7/31/2008 5:28:49 PM

yeah go to sleep, when you wake up tomorrow y ou won't remember a thing.
