i had the misfortune to use some in my bedroom and because of sensitivity to the fumes i had to sleep eslewhere for about three months before i could return. if you were using it in a larger room which is well ventilated, i would hope the smell would disipate earlier than this. i have used it on wooden furniture and when dry no discernable smell continued.

Why does paint smell long after paint job was finished?

Well it really depends on the type of paint. See there are paints that are low VOC (low Volatile Organic Compounds) these are the ingredients that cause paint to smell. More oil based paints tend to off gas "stink" while the VOC compounds are curing, thus the long lasting smell. Low VOC pains tend not to smell so bad because of the formulation of the paint, less compounds that need to cure during the drying process.

It depends on the type of paint ... if it is modern spray paint (without lead) and is already applied than you are fine ... if it has lead, it won't be very long before your health is affected.
