Deoderizing Discs...

Cover it in baby powder and wrap it tight in a diaper and just putt with it for a few weeks.

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.

Is that the red rye beer ? Founders is pretty local here since one of the "founder's" is from E Grand Rapids about 5 blocks from where I sit. I loved the beer in spite of the ugly dude on the label.

I got some discs from a smoker once and they reeked to high hell. I took a dryer sheet, put it and the discs in a bag and tied it off for a week or so. It took care of about 80% of it.

I don't know if febreeze or its aerosol propellant will react with plastic, you may end up with a melty stinky disc.

Last summer a friend of mine pulled out a disc from a swampy area while looking for his disc. It had probably been in there quite a while.

The next day im playing a round with that same friend when he asks me to come smell his car.

He had left the disc he found in the swamp in the car over night... I laughed my ass off!

The smell was nasty

No, their red rye beer is straight up called Red Rye. The DB is their signature Scotch Ale.

I'll give this a shot. Seems like the least chance of something destroying the disc. I've smelled smoker and swamp discs before, but this is insane. It literally smells like an 80 year old man is standing two feet in front of you.

That's funky man...

 

[Clarkey]

What I want to know is who traded u that stinky disc!

Call him out so we can point and laugh

i'd recommend the dryer sheets. If that doesn't work, leave it outside in direct sunlight for a few days. I doubt either will fully cure it, though. But it might make it livable. Plastics just don't release smells very quickly.

Soaking it in vodka overnight or for a few hours would probably work best.

I have a putter that I got from a head shop about a year ago and it still smells pretty strong.... just embrace the smell, it may be there for a while.

Combine this with the tomato juice idea, grab a stalk of celery, some Tabasco sauce, and make yourself a nice bloody mary.

 

[cmcolomb]

^^^ musty mary??

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

I would try this first myself. It says right on the box that it's for deodorizing and it works pretty good on a smelly fridge.

 

[KNole]

try soaking it in baking soda

 

[Star Shark]

Doesn't alcohol chew up plastics? The vodka idea might not be so good.

 

[kcplease]

this is good. i recently pulled a flat Z pred out of a lake and it smeels like rotting algae and dead mice.

 

[JamesXC]

^^^ Do dead mice smell different than dead any-other-mammals?

 

[weaktit]

How about a warm oxyclean bath. I haven't left a disc in long enough to affect the stamp but that stuff works wonders on shining up a dirty disc and on most everything else I need cleaned.

Trying round two: baking soda/vinegar. Results, and what it means for your weekend, at 10.
