The shelves need time for all the kerosene vapors to escape. The food items are most likely absorbing the vapor from the air and through direct contact. While the shelves dry further, you can prevent contamination by wrapping your items in well sealed polythene bags or plastic buckets and keeping the room well aerated. The vapors will disappear with time.
Did you use paraffin as your paint mixer?
Wee gwacha hiso. This glass of milk will be infused with weed as a matter of fact.
Thanks guys is there anything i can do to fasten this process so that there is absolutely no vapour at all?
wacha tuone hio kitu kwanzaEverything would have been less painfull if i was not being costantly bombarded with words along the lines "Nilikuambia tutengeneze hio kitu kwa fundi" I need a solution fast
And make sure you use sand paper. Start with course sand paper and finish with the smooth one before applying the primer paint.
Properly applied paint takes about three to four hours to feel dry when touched. And 24 hours to completely dry with no fumes.
Those smelly things are called Volatile Organic Compounds and they are bad for you.
Those smelly things are called Volatile Organic Compounds and they are bad for you.
VOC stands for volatile organic compound–any of several chemical additives found in numerous consumer products, from gasoline and glue to correction fluid and colored markers. Even cosmetics, mothballs, air fresheners, and household cleaning supplies contain VOCs.
Because they're volatile, these compounds vaporize and emit gasses, even long after they've dried. Paint, for example, emits only half of its VOCs in the first year.
Why You Should Splurge on "Green" VOC-Free Paint
VOCs are dangerous compounds found in a number of products including paint. Learn about the risks and more eco-friendly options.www.thespruce.com
Many years ago we had to roll out a commercial project that was aiming for the Gold status of an environmental certification called LEED.
Being greenhorns in this new 'thing' we had to familiarize ourselves with related literature aimed at specifying paints, adhesives and even MDF boards that had low VOC content.
The result...
No gloss paint, or spray paint.
Local contact adhesive did not meet VOC requirements. You can imagine not being able to use good ol' CONTA.
MDF boards had to be imported from Thailand as locally available did not meet the requirements.
These things are bad enough just to be near.
Now when @Mwalimu-G says he ingested marashi-flavoured ugali.....
Shait.
You used the wrong paint. Also i bet the "store" is not well aerated so the odour is seeping into the foods.
