Default Oh That Smelly Smell

I ordered 100 sq feet of Elemental Designs eDead v1SE2 sound deadener for my C5. I used 82 sq feet to do everything but the doors which I will do when I replace all the audio stuff. Everything, carpet and seats, came out and went back in perfectly in one day. The car is quieter inside.

Problem is that now my car smells like a tire shop from the rubber in the insulation. Don't want to use one of those sickening smelling little trees that you get at the carwash or anything like that.

I left the windows down all day today to let it air out.

Any suggestions?

mine smelled after i put the liquid deadner in too. Its just gotta air out. No worries. it'll air out easier if you leave the interior out. but its already late for that warm air and circulating air will help a lot i see your in cali, so warm dry air should be too much of an issue for you. to help speed up the curing time, i used fans. I also did mine in the dead of winter last year, lol when it was 15 degrees outside of teh garage.
