Glue smell

[Stewart]

I used Weldwood to glue cloth to the inside of a binder cover, One big mistake. Now I need to get rid of the smell.

Any suggestions? I already tried baking soda.

I use weldwood glue as well, give it a few days & the smell will go away. I would much rather smell the glue than the onions!!!

cut up onion counters any glue or paint smell. you don't smell the onion

It an old painters trick; put cut up onion in a freshly painted room and soon you can't smell the paint nor do you smell the onion. a cut up onion placed in the fridge will rid it of odd smells
