    The smell of the money at the end of the job..........

    Unfortunately I don't have a sense of smell so can't smell any of the products I use.

    Me too Scott, silicone and fresh grout - every bathroom smells the same at the end and that's the bit I like.
    Quite like the smell of Aquapanel.

    i remember smelling a wax for finishing a stone floor,forget the make of it, but there was little ventalation in the room,a passage way led to the room i was tiling that was about 4 feet wide,after inhaling this wax vapour for two minutes ,i needed to get something from the van, i literally bounced off each wall of a 4 foot wide passage way,took about a hour after finishing before i dared drive,strong stuff, if i ever take up glue sniffing thats the one for me

    I like the smell of some sealers but they get a bit too strong considering you're normally smelling them for a while. So I'd probably go for the silicone too which is similarish but not as strong. And of course would mean you're about to get your cheque/cash.
