because there's acetone or strong glue in it
Maybe so; but last night around 8 p.m., an unexplained odor of very strong fumes (similar to strong glue or paint thinner) filled the center of my home and the basement. Only thing is, no one has painted here in three years nor glued anything. My youngest son came downstairs and asked me what the smell was, so I was not the only one that noticed. I opened the doors and windows because it made me feel light-headed. I never determined the source and inside of 15 minutes it was gone. When did this happen, and was it similar to my experience?
