reducing smoke smell in brain tanned leather.

<< < (3/5) > >>

Eric Krewson:
I hang stinky clothes from a ceiling fan blade under my covered deck, shirts just back from a big indoor fish fry and such. It surprises me how everything smells like fresh washed sheets that have been dried on a clothesline in a few days.  I think the night air with about 100% humidity absorbs the stink and releases it when the item dries during the day.

Ed Brooks:
Pat have you tried something like febreze?  Ed

Pat B:
Ed, I haven't but I have thought about it. Will it work without affecting the leather?

Pat I have never tried it, sorry I don’t know if it will affect leather. I like the smoke smell in my quiver, for cover up. Wife likes it in the house too, lol. Ed

Eric Krewson:
I got a bow one time from a guy who was a heavy smoker, no amount of washing could remove that putrid stale smoke smell, it was imbedded in the finish. I had to strip the finish off and refinish it to stand to be around the bow.
