I recently purchased a shell that had some smoke damage...Although it doesn't seem to smell now...what should I do to make sure it doesn't smell in future...some one mentioned a Ozone machine???have pressured washed it with purple power and stripped in side out completely...Bob
A painter friend of mine uses "Killz" and it seems to do a great job on wood. http://www.masterchem.com/pages/default.aspx?NavID=61 (http://www.masterchem.com/pages/default.aspx?NavID=61) You may need to call about using it on metal. Good luck!

My brother had a small fire and smoke damage in a house he once owned. They set up the ozone machine in it and it removed all the smell. All his clothing and such they put in a vault with an ozone machine.
NOte-an ozone machine actually generates ozone. Maybe with enough of them running, we can plug the hole in the sky LOL. Seriously, though, too much exposure to ozone will cause material to literally fall apart, which can include carpeting etc. Much like a moth infestation :(
Cheap way is to lacquer over the smoke/burned areas - HTH
I have used ozone machines on commercial de-oderizing projects with no ill effect to the treated materials. I ran one for a week straight in a truck cab and nothing fell apart.
As I understand it, ozone is an oxidizing agent. Therefore, over a period of time it can help deteriorate anything that is so affected by oxidation. Even if oxidation is accelerated, it would still take a very long time to have a noticeable negative effect on our materials. However, odors are oxidized relatively quickly.
Have totally removed down to ply wood and original foam insulation everything from bus ..Including any scorched wood (less than 18 sq ft)..will take responses to heart. will paint all plywood floors with Kiltz (paint )and foam sides and ceiling ...before I do this will seal her up and put ozone machine in....Judy has a good nose ;so will do my best...everything else will be new...Thank you Bob
