Message:: [QUOTE="tenacious, post: 466837, member: 14553"]Are you familiar with the very distinct and specific plastic smell of water rafts, (or children's float tubes etc.), you blow up for use in the swimming pool? You smell the smell when you're blowing it up. That very specific smell is the same as when you open a package of new plastic shower curtains. (EDIT: Maybe some brands no longer have that smell. Maybe they are made of different plastics. But I have smelled it with new shower curtains in the past. It's a very specific plastic smell. Once you smell it you don't forget it.) If you've ever smelled it you will know exactly what I mean. That is the smell stainless is talking about. And that I've read is indicative of PVC. But I don't know if that's true for sure. But I have no problem believing that PVC  can have its own specific smell, just like anything else.[/QUOTE]
