The wallboard was new also. Now 3 years later, there is still a very strong odor and this is where we store our water and pantry foods. Do you thing this is the paint. I built an upper closet at the same time but did not use the same paint there and it if odorless. 3 years ago I painted a newly built storage room with white paint I ha in the garage.

But sometimes In a hurry, I don't want to put it on -- and then I end up with a headache. A respirator usually blocks most of he fumes when I am painting.

There was an odor for a few days and then it had seemed to have disapated. Now that spring is here and heat, we've noticed the smell is back worse than ever. We've left the windows and fans going for 3 wks now and still have this gas/odor smell. We are puzzled as to why the smell would be back. Any ideas why it would come back or how to eliminate this horrible odor?
