I had a minor repair job yesterday to fill a little hole in my kitchen door. So off to my local hardware store to buy some (premixed) wood-putty stuff, and about 1tsp of stuff later, voila! Hole gone, and lucky the putty was exactly the same colour as my door!! But geez that shit stinks! I don’t have the best nose in the world, but every time I walked into the kitchen I got a schnoz-full and it reeked to high heavens. Now it’s 24hrs later, and I can STILL smell the gunk. Bloody hell. ---

See, it isn’t actually the same color. The smell is a psychotropic that makes you _think_ the putty is the same color as the wood. 😉 ---

I don’t know whether I just had pleasant childhood associations with the stuff, but wood and body putty both smell kind of nice to me. A not unpleasant sharp but sweet odor. ---

I remember smelling it exactly once, as a kid, and to this day I won’t even open those cans again to see what the smell like and if it’s as bad as I remember. ---
