Please don't judge. I used a gross sour smelling ';paint'; on my walls. Turned out to be joint compound.?

Will this smell go away? How long? What if I get real paint and paint over it?


I am a woman who likes to take on home projects. I found this ';paint'; color at my dads. I think it is sour joint compound not paint. Yes, maybe women should do home projects. A for effort????


P.S. My son is coming home from Marine boot camp Friday, I wanted to make things nice for him and I think I really screwed up.Please don't judge. I used a gross sour smelling ';paint'; on my walls. Turned out to be joint compound.?

You can't paint with joint compound; so I can only assume you are kidding? And joint compound has no odor.
