I've used some pretty smelly stuff and it all came out fine.

Subject: [papercreters] fermented paper pulp
I love this group... it is kind of like having my own papercrete obsessed crystal ball. Saves some much trial and error... anyway...
So I made three 55 gallon drums of paper pulp intending to spray in a couple of days, and then it started raining. Two weeks later the rain finally let up and my 150 gallons of pulp were smelling kind of ripe. I went ahead and used it and it seemed to actually work better except for the smell. It was a lot smoother and more "pulpy" than usual.
My concern is that it may not hold up as well being partially rotten at this point. It looks fine when it dries and the smell pretty much goes away. Too late for this batch I guess, but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this?
