TRON Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 Is there a better way to get rid of the fiberglass resin smell that lingers? I recently finished some tweeter pods for my truck, wrapped in fabric and all but I can still smell the resin. I doubt sprying them down with Fabreez does any good, and airing them out is slow. Any secret home remidies? Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s

audiofanaticz Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 As other said, it will just go away, air the vehicle keep it shut up tight. Either way it will go away. Awhitewookie, is your resin setup, It should smell for a week tops, paint maybe longer depending what kind you used

CarAudioFab Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 If possible try to leave the piece outside the vehicle to fully cure. The stink seems to dig into the interior if you have to glass inside and then you are stuck with waiting like the others suggested. -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

Any secret home remidies? just give it time, usually 3-4 days it will go away, if it takes over a week and it is still strong, check to see if it is even hard.
