If it smells like sardines and dog rear end, it must be Corafoam

Nope haven't had that one yet...but I sometimes receive ACM that when you remove the protective plastic it releases a strong odor of cigarettes. Must be a chemical in the adhesive of the protective sheet, I'm guessing...but definitely smells like an ash tray!

 

Haha yup I have a mental image of two dudes holding the liner up while the third blows smoke under it, then they squeegee down real quick to lock in the stench haha!

I haven't noticed it on the 8509, but on Oraguard 210M it when it releases off the liner a similar vomit-like smell, or maybe cat ****, perhaps a mixture of the two? Almost like it got wet in the warehouse and now has a strong funk....I used the 210 for 5-6 years before it started smelling like urine haha!

 

Latest boxes of IJ35c have a stinking feet - old wet sneaker smell when printing now. Was not this way before but for some reason all our boxes are marked in what I guess is Portuguese - 3M Brazil web addresses on them.

 

I have to say Corafoam has a unique smell to it compared to others but I never thought it smelled like sardines and a dogs rump. Not the most pleasant odor but not horrible. Now 3M translucent vinyl... now there's a bad smell. But everyone perceives smell a little differently. I read about a survey once where they asked people to describe or rate the smell of skunk juice. The comments ranged from a little stinky to so bad they almost vomit.

 

We get a brand of clear transfer tape that smells like catpiss.

 

My favorite smell is the adhesive back of 3M IJ35C or Control Tac.

 

7-1 today- smell bad

 

Liar

 

R-Tape clear right? Nasty but I'm forced to use it at times.

 

Yep! that's the stuff. What in the heck do they put in there that causes it to smell like that. I sure would not want to work in the factory that makes that tape and I've worked in tannerys and pulp mills..

 

Hey Toad, does your dog eat sardines, might make him itch.

 

Maybe if you spray Rapid Tac the nice vanilla smell will mask the catpiss, dogshit and buffaloass smells.

 

try some vinyl ink if you want to experience a brutal odor

 

Aluminum that smells like a mill is pretty normal, but we had 20 sheets delivered, mostly actual mill finish, but 4 were pre-painted 040. On the 040, the film was bubbled all over the place and barely stuck to the metal. When I walked through the cutting room door after it was all unloaded, it nearly knocked me over.
Gotta love the IJ35c too
