Just an update on this. Yes, the felt was glued on and yes the glue smells nasty. I pulled the felt off with needle nose. The glue appears to be rubber cement? Pretty springy and smells like a tire factory. However since it’s China there’s no telling if they got some discount toxic reject from a chemical plant. I’m trying to file away the goop but I might have to trash it. My mouth and throat feel like I smoked even outdoors. ibb.co/s1fLbXglacquer thinner should get that stuff off and once it dries/evaporates, should not smell bad. I assume you will cut a new piece of felt? Something like this might work (and it has an adhesive that I've used before and didn't notice it was stinky - but have not tried it for this purpose) |

Most of the "fabreeze" style odor cleaners don't really work. They'll just cover up whatever scent is there with its own. Ick.
Umm ... the brand name Febreeze has cyclodextrin, which is a really cool molecule that does trap smells. They hold the patent. All the other others try to nuke your smell receptors with fragrance so that you can't smell the bad odors.
Also, the patent expires next year, so soon others will start using the smell trapping and not nose nuking formula.
Here's a short lecture about it:
Hah! Cyclodextrins. I used to encapsulate Alexander Shulgin-inspired NBOMe entheogens in cyclodextrins for better dissolution, absorption and smoothness of come ups. This was about 15 years ago when they were legal, it was the Wild West for imports and deadly stuff didn't yet taint everything. Erowid and Bluelight sites had their heydey then. I've got a signed copy of Shulgin's second book. A true pioneer, artist, craftsman and scientist. Amazing how cyclodextrins can not only eliminate the smell of sh!t, they can help us better see the world though a different lens. ...Back to our regularly scheduled programAbout my only experience de-stunkifying is with gear and transformers that smell super cigarett-ey or musty (Vintage?!). A I 'bout choked laughing when I read that OP mentioning axe body spray. Gawd that works be horrible. My mind would keep throwing me images of wannabe vanilla ices spitting (literally) 'dey game into that mic. Oof. As someone else described, charcoal works great. I put the gear in a cloth, dust proof, high thread count bag. Then that fits into a sealable plastic bag. Small gear gets a ziploc bag of the appropriate size. Large gear goes in a garbage bag. Loads of pellets are added. They are dusty, hence the inner cloth bag protecting gear. Use the aquarium filter pellets. Seal the bags by zipping Ziploc or tightly tying closed garage bag. *I tie the garbage bag knot around a pencil or pen so that it is easier to loosen the knot later when it is time to replace the pellets*. Let sit for 3 days. Open bag, replace with a new large load of pellets. Three more days. Repeat up to once more with a new change of the pellets. If 3x doesn't work this method won't work. The only times it has not worked for me is when they're was caked on gunk that smelled and then it did work after I cleaned the gunk off with gentle abrasion with 1) mild surfactant (I use "Veggie Wash"), and then 2) 70% iPrOH. Don't be stingy with the charcoal pellets. Buy in bulk. Use too much. They are cheap as heck. Supposedly you can regenerate charcoal pellets by making them off in the oven, but the thought of liberating all that trapped horrible smell info my food oven is a non starter. I just but a crap ton of pellets. Axe though. Oofda. Charcoal may be no match for that tangy sauce |
