Oil primer fumes

I had just primed a walk in closet with an oil base primer when my friend calls and asks to have our little get -together tomorrow night at our house. Now I need to get this smell out ASAP. Any ideas? Will it help to paint over it tomorrow - was planning to use a latex paint, will that kill the smell? Help!!

Fresh air circulation is the best method for removing paint fumes. Covering the primer with latex might help a little but I wouldn't rely on that to remove the odor.

Painting Stucco questions

Hello, I live in Minneapolis and am about to paint my stucco. 1. Is there a preferred brand of paint? I've learned that I will need a 100% acrylic latex exterior paint. Should I get Behr Stucco paint from Home Depot, Sherwin Williams, Ben Moore, ,etc? 2. Does anyone know how much heat to a house if the stucco color is a darker grey or taupe? We have extreme temps here in Minnesota. Winters are cold but can be sunny and summers are hot and humid. Thanks in advance ! CrissyRead More
