Deoderizing Discs...

[Craton]

So I just got a disc in a trade, and I kid you not, it smells like an old man. As if it's been soaked in metamucil and prune juice for 100 years.

Now, I really don't want to just get rid of it- it's a super gummy champ valk that I'm pumped about. Anyone have any ideas on getting rid of the smell on a horrible disc without (1) destroying the integrity of the plastic and (2) losing grip. I know pine sol would do the trick, but I don't want to be throwing any slick pieces of wood. The smell is SO pervasive, though, that you can smell it across the room.

I am sure you have already tried this but maybe just wash it in the sink with dish soap? If that doesn't work I say Febreeze it and rub dryer sheets all over it.

Try tomato juice. IDK......It works for skunk sprays.

A guy I play with has a disc that he bought at a head shop over a year ago. And it still smells like patchouli. Somehow premium plastics "store" smells really well.

 

[Craton]

I've tried soaking it in some Dawn soap and pretty hot water...I figure I might just have to keep doing that for a while and repeat a lot.

Tomato juice could be an option...but then I'm going to want a grilled cheese sandwich everytime I throw it.

lock yourself in a room with no ventilation.

light a cig, drink some beer, eat a few hot pockets.

proceed to burp, fart, and exhale on said disc.

hope the smoke/beer-breath/ass scents override the old timer smell.

/but please remember to exit the room/remove yourself to fresh air if you start getting dizzy/the smoke starts obstructing your view.

Oh my word. If it smelled like cigarettes, that'd make me puke. If only I could soak it in a Founders Dirty Bastard....

Whenever I'm done with my shift at the restaurant, I always rub my hands on some stainless steel. It gets the garlic smell out. It's worth a shot.

i'm assuming that's a beer?

/sounds tasty

It's a man's beer. A real beer. None of that Corona/Miller Light crap. And much better than Sam Adams,Leinny's, or Fat tire.

I could probably just try a cheese grater while I'm at it...

Stainless steel would shred a gummy champ disc. Good input though.

Pee on it. Works for jelly fish stings...

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is the winner. Could also add the pee from all the drinking. When you're done with this stuff, jam it in a pizza carry bag that delivery drivers carry. Stuff it in a hockey gear bag. More beer/smoke/fart air.

Oh, you could try that! It would be the best disc ever. Then you could acetone the stamp and dye a Founders dye on it. Mmmm....Founders...I drink it straight from the teet of the taproom on Grandville regularly. And from this bottle labled "Double Trouble" next to me.

But seriously...your disc smells bad? Sounds like it just needs to be thrown against a few trees during a round. And you need to stop sniffing your fingers.

 

[JamesXC]

I like the idea of spraying it with some Febreeze. That stuff is strong enough to override just about anything, and it should keep the structural integrity just fine.

 

[wolito]

What about a paste of baking soda and water. Let it soak in that overnight, rinse and repeat. I also like the Fabreeze idea.

 

[austin234]

Maybe leave it outside in the sun and bake the smell out? Then it'll look ugly and faded tho, febreeze than sob

I've thought about this before. I mean, who wouldn't want a disc that smelled like a Scotch Ale?

 

[Eefman]

I used a disc to hold tobacco from a grape swisher, and now it forever smells like grape.

My buddy got a mini for his PDGA package and it smelled really good like a yankee candle or something lol. I tried to buy it off him it smelled so good.
