Same experience here, I think it was Krylon too but a different
product. In any case, I only used it once because I found the smell
did never completely go away, so it interfered with wine tasting/
drinking. Plus there are enough chemicals in my life already. These
days I go with the smudged labels if the bottle needs to go in ice
bucket, it's not a big deal really at that point.
