Default fiberglass smell

I used fiberglass for the first time the other day and the smell is still to strong. What's the best way to get rid of the smell?π

Air it out the best you can. Time is the only thing that'll help with getting that smell to subside.

I use glass alot. Everyone's right it's time. As long as its rocked off good and hard it will go away. If you got some resin in carpet or underlay for example and it's thin or splashed it may not be thick enough on those edges or splashes to achieve a complete exotherm. Typically if it's cool in temp or not quite enough catalyst. Sometimes DMA with Catalyst. If cooler. .9 % to 3% cat of amount of resin. Want resin to achieve a proper barcal rating( hardness) not to just go hard. Throw some heat at it. No flame. Heat gun. Give it a good cure. Faster cure quicker the smell will go.
