The room/walls seem now to have a smell of wet shipskin roller cover I however painted next room ceiling with the new Dulux professional roller cover and the ceiling has the same smell once dried up I’m wondering if Zinsser Bin has a strange odour once dried up and if it will go away over time and the worst case of it doesn’t go away will applying the pain over primed walls help to eliminate the strange odour ?!
