A few days ago I received a custom item from a tailor who specializes in 1/6th scale. He's pretty reliable and his prices are awesome.... UNFORTUNATELY, he smokes!!!! So the thing I ordered from him reeks all hell like burnt garbage, and that's after I've left it outside for 2 straight days. Does anybody know if a product exists to remove the stench of burning garbage from LEATHER?

Drop them in a bag of fresh kitty litter and seal it back up. Rotate every couple of days. A week or so will remove 90 to 95% of the smell as the kitty litter absorbs the smoke fumes.

Just get unscented, that should work.

At least it doesn't smell like shit. The kitty litter will work.

Absolute WORST thing to happen when you spend your hard earned $$ on action figures. I Hate it when I have bought Joes off ebay and the seller smokes like a carton a day.
That is why I now always check before bidding. If you want to smoke that nasty crap, go for it. But please (Sellers) be considerate and in your auctions be up front of your figures come from a house that smells like an ash tray. *Off my soap box* I just got some figures that stink like smoke and I put downy dryer sheets and the figures in a zip lock bag. |

Febreze Works great. Use it all the time on the coach to get dog smells out.
