So I made a beeswax mixture to water proof my jacket and the recipe called for turpentine in it. I now have a jacket that reeks of turpentine and I don’t know what to do about it. The video didn’t mention anything about the smell, I thought it would dissipate but it hasn’t yet (24hrs)

Wear it in the rain, or if it is snowing then perhaps put it on a hanger in the shower.

My husband has done this a few times. His recipe may have been different but did use turpentine and it reeked. It takes about 2 weeks of airing out to get rid of the smell. But then it’s good to go. Over that time the appearance also improves. His always looked super patchy but as the turpentine evaporates it really evens out. Hope that helps.
