What hobby-related smell bothers you the most? |

Acrylic paint that has gone rancid.
Certain black spray paint
Melted plastic when pulling sprue.
Testor's brush cleaner.
My flatulent dog who sleeps at my feet while I paint. |

Convention Stench.
Although I rather miss it now… |

Spray paint fumes, plastic modeling glue fumes, rubber cement fumes. I seem to react very strongly to even mild exposure to these, even in well-ventilated areas.
Other than that, no real smell issues. |

The stank of my troops' commanding general's decisions. |

Wargamer smell. All the rest is an hobby related hazard. Terry |

I apply Minwax Polyshades oil-based stain to my figures, aka, The Dip. The smell used to bother me, a lot. Now, after using it for 20+ years, I've grown accustomed to it. I still don't care for it, fresh, but after a few months, it drops in intensity. That, plus my built up tolerance for it, makes it livable. Cheers! |

The smell of body odor from people who don't bathe or shower. |

Solvents. Too many years of being hunched over figures using enamel paints. Threw my Humbrols away 25 years ago. I don't use plastic cement inside the house either. |

Super glue. Makes my eyes water. Sometimes gives me headaches. |

The smell of defeat :( That's the name of my aftershave. Kinda says it all doesn't it? |
