No really strong fumes, but the odor is not the most pleasant one. Application is best done outside of a living area, or with lots of ventilation and newspaper on the floor.

I sprayed it in through the ends of the tubing exposed at the head tube and bottom bracket the other ends were blocked off by paper towels or tape - per instuctions. I discovered the wonderful thickening property when I went into the garage last night. My better half is going to be SO amused

I now understand why we never offered application at the shop.
