Good evening all. This is my first post here. I have a question that maybe someone can help with.
I built a home a year ago. Hung drywall in December. Had drywall finishers work in January with propane heaters running so mud would dry. Home was finished and I moved in around middle of May. My problem is I seem to still have that faint odor of of propane fumes in home. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of that odor? Thanks in advance

Greetings oly,
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones attention that can help you with advice.

I have no clue. I do find it hard to believe though.
Propane heaters are notorious for dumping huge amounts of h2o and co into the air when used like that. Something like 3 gals of h2o for every 40lb propane tank.
Not a good way to dry out taping, although I've done it a thousand times.
Good luck.

i've never ever noticed any fumes from propane combustiuon. It is a wonderfully clean burning fuel, but as mentioned puts out a lot of moisture. I think the fumes you smell are from something else.
