Fishy!

Oct 20, 2007 2 Replies

I just had some screeding laid for my UFH project. The work is fantastic (60 year old master plasterer), and I reckon you could play billiards on it. However there is a smell of dead fish as the screeding is drying. It was stronger yesterday (day1), but still strong today (day2).



Is this normal? What's causing it, and will it go when the screed has dried out?



Thanks, R.


Latex leveling compound (very smooth grey finish) often smells like this. It does go away after a bit.

I always thought that the smell is from the aggregate which is sometimes dredged from the ocean - the smell will go away fairly quickly. Franko.
