Hi everyone. How do I get rid of the shaving cream smell after making marbled background paper with it? I've searched everywhere for a suggestion but keep coming up short.
I'm not sure that you can, to be honest. I can usually smell it off the page for a few weeks after, but I think over a LONG period of time it fades totally.
Ohhhh I know the answer to this...sort of. It stops smelling in less than 2 years and 4 months i just had a hunt through my stash (a sealed plastic tub) and found an A4 sheet that I did in Nov 2017, and I can't smell a thing.

Thank you. I'm was thinking of layering the paper with some fabric softener sheets but then they will smell just like that
Maybe if I tuck them in some towels for a while that will help.
How about putting it in a plastic box with some activated charcoal to absorb smell or bread ends if you don’t have. Leave it at least overnight preferably 24 hours then check.
I left my papers sit in backing soda for weeks and they still smelled like shaving cream. Hung them outside in the sun for two day....still smelled.
I ended up discarding them as the smell was too potent.
