My First Slab Smells!

[comicdonna]

I'm not saying anything.

[Ze-man]

Place the slab in a box with a raw onion. It works on skunk urine.

 

Ok, what had skunk urine on it that had to be saved? You couldn't just throw it out?

 

 

It was actually a house I lived in when I was a kid! All of the skunk urine went into the onion!

 

You put your house in a box with an onion? Did you live in Kandor?

 

 

 

 

 

 

If my dog would have stayed in a box, I would have tried it when she got sprayed.

Don't panic and let it air out for awhile. Depending on the severity of the odour its may just go away. (thumbs u

Unfortunately the smoke smell is in the inner parts of the slab and the airing out may be the best possiblity. However, you can try using plain white vineger on a rag and wipe down the outer parts of the slab. Vineger is great for getting out all smells including smoke in clothes when you wash them and should help the problem.

Damn, I never imagined there ever being a smelly CGC.

 

 

1st appearance of the smelly CGC.

Maybe I should be more specific, how can I "get the smell out?"

 

I dunno, but if you rub a little dog doo on it, you shouldn't smell the smoke anymore.

Amazing deoderizer

Live with it or get it reslabbed. That's what I've had to do.

[Bat-Man]

Like smoke, help!!!

 

Thats odd and a funny and I hope you can get it out!

[blazingbob]

If you spray axe on the outer well I hear it draws the women in.

 

Or you could hang one of those Pine tree car deodorizers on it for awhile.

[Ringfinger]

I will try my sons Axe.

[goldust40]

I would suggest the Pete Townshend method for dealing with that slab.

[Dick Pontoon]

Child pornography?

[Ringfinger]

Hey now!!

[AtlasFan]

Sounds like the smell is coming from the book and not the slab.

 

Try some Fabreez!

 

Maybe CGC should start using a "smell" quality designation, right next to page quality. Yup.

[alecholland]

Live with it or get it reslabbed. That's what I've had to do.

 

Yeah, I don't think there is not much you can do to get smoke smell out of plastic.

 

My wife collects miniature plastic toys. On the forum she is on, they suggest putting the plastic toys in the freezer to help get out smoke smell, but I don't think that would be a good idea with comics.

 

I agree with Sterling. I think the only thing you can do is get it reslabbed or hope that it eventually airs out on it's own.

 

 

[MightyBeanComics]

Seriously, I am not reslabbing as I just got it and it is only worth the slab charge. It was won as a fluke.

 

 

You mean you won it as a fish?

 

 

I almost crapped my pants when I read that.

Child pornography?

 

[MightyBeanComics]

I'm suggesting getting a box of baking soda and sprinkling the entire box in a large enough box to hold the slab.

 

Set a tea cup upside-down, lay the book on the tea-cup and close up the large box for a few weeks.

 

I have no doubt this will work.

 

This is great advice. Uncooked rice or kitty litter will produce the same result.

 

Good luck!
