Thinners stain on slab.

[Russdl]

Some clown, probably me, kicked over a tin of Hammerite thinners, right after cleaning some black Hammerite from a spray gun. We now have a massive black stain on the slab. I soaked up as much as I could and covered the stain in sawdust for a couple of days but it still stinks of thinners. 
 

I assume the odour will disappear in time but is there anything else I can do to ensure the room, that will be carpeted, doesn’t always have a whiff of thinners about it?

Disguise it with a whiff of new carpet?

 

Perhaps try brushing in cement dust. Isn't that what they use for oil spills on racing circuits? 

 

Desk fan pointed at the patch might speed up evaporation.

@Temp Two good ideas there  - apart from the carpet one that is. I’ll get right on to it ?
