Title: Tools, sills smell like rotten fish?
Post by: [GQC] Tim on August 28, 2010, 04:33:36 pm
What's going on here?

Did a large number of jobs yesterday, all within quite a distance of each other, and my cloths, brush all smelled like a mix of rotten fish/dog wee/tfr?? Really bad.

I smelled a window sill without me even touching it, and it smelled just like it, really bad. I grabbed a clean fresh cloth from the van, wiped a just wfp'd sill, wiped a couple of frames and voila, same horrible smell.

I'm completely baffled how this can be. It can't be the detergent I'm using for my cloths otherwise my brush head wouldn't smell this way.

We do have a landfill in the area, but been about 10 miles and a couple of hills in between away from that, and still had that problem?

Anyone have had this problem before?  ???  ???

Do you use a resin only system? Resin can sometimes smell fishy after a while.

RO + Resin polish.....hmmm, the resin was off, I checked today. But that wouldn't explain the sills already smelling weird though?  ???

Could well be something a farmer has sprayed on his fields, they use chicken and fish guts around here smells worse than a pig farm, there one of them as well  :'( why do i live here?
