Paint emits a strong smell when it's wet due to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in its formulation. As the paint dries, these VOCs evaporate, reducing the concentration of the odor-causing chemicals in the air. Once the paint is fully dry, the release of these compounds diminishes significantly, leading to a lack of smell. Thus, the odor is primarily associated with the drying process and the evaporation of solvents.

Place bowls of vinegar or baking soda around the room to absorb odors. Use an air purifier or activated charcoal filters to help remove the smell.

Is boiling a starfish required to keep it?

Keep it for a decoration? I generally have in the past boiled them, then allow to dry in the sun. Then I paint them and they don't smell. You don't have to boil them if they are already dead though, boil if they are alive then that kills them so they can dry out properly.
