I just received an order of excellently-designed and produced acrylic building kits, which I'm very much looking forward to assembling. Unfortunately, the laser-cut acrylic stinks to high heaven! Does anyone have a tried-and-true method of getting rid of the horrible smell? Vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, blood of a virgin unicorn drawn by the light of the harvest moon…? There was a laser-cut MDF kit in the box, as well, so maybe the smell originated from there, but either way, I need to get rid of it! Thanks!

Not to derail this topic, but who makes laser cut acrylic buildings? |

Crazy, i've never had acrylic smell, but the MDF does smell like burning MDF… I would imagine just dish washing soap and water would do the trick. |

The acrylic does smell for a bit. If it was sealed in a bag right after cutting then it might have some odor but it usually dissipates rather quickly. Leave it out for a few hours. MDF just stinks like burnt wood and you can fix that by sealing the wood. Also don't use soap and water on the MDF… bad idea :) |

@Caesar – not sure about what the OP had, but Gamecraft makes some buildings in acrylic (I have some 6mm). |
