Fumes I meant. 3 weeks ago I tried making something with Epoxy resin, didn’t do my research well before doing it, let it cure in my bedroom, and it filled with heavy VOC fumes. I managed to contain this to just my bedroom.
The rest of the apartment is fine.
The fumes gave me a headache, dizziness, and odd feeling in my throat. I left my window and balcony door open with a fan blowing out for the first week, returned and nothing much has changed. I rented an air scrubber with an activated carbon filter and left it running for 6 days. The air seemed cleaner but than after an hour I had a reaction to it. I’ve thrown out the mattress, and rug. Removed all my clothes and literally washed them 3 times. Now almost 3 weeks later I go back and still having a faint reaction inside the room. I hired an air quality specialist just for them to tell “yes, there is gas still in the room” they recommended a restoration service who will come in with hydroxil machine. Do you think this will finish the job once and for all?

I wanted to make something with epoxy resin and a silicone mold. This is my first time doing this and only read the box instructions.

I did it in my closed off bedroom and than let it cure in my closet for 3 hours. After 3 hours I started to get a headache, dizziness.

I grabbed the mold and put it outside and tried to air out my room for a few more hours with the window open and door to balcony. The door to the rest of the apartment was closed the whole time.

I left and came back 2 days later with a fan to help it.

It’s now been 5 days of constant ventilation with a fan and I’m still having a reaction. I’m now getting an air scrubber with activated carbon filters.

I know this was stupid and I should have done more research than just read a box that didn’t even suggest to wear a mask.

I’m gonna leave the air scrubber running for a few days and hope for the best.

Any experts here have any advice or suggestions?
