The case of Cedar Creek Cases continues.

I also have Odo Ban Eucalyptus BioOdor Digester. I used it on an antique trunk that had been used by nesting mice. The active ingredient is bacterial enzyme cultures. I don't think it would work on glue smell, though (it's for "organic waste in hard to reach areas"), and honestly I don't really care for the eucalyptus smell. I had to air out the trunk for quite awhile to get rid of that additional odor.

I used newspaper and charcoal in the past to remove odors, worked very well. Shut it up in the case and the newspaper and charcoal will absorb the odors.

John - Suspicion is high the stuff you mentioned is either very close to or the same that i used.

Pops1 - What is the charcoal you've used in the past?

[pops1]

Newspaper, the actual kind newspapers are printed on, not the advertising stuff that is inside them. And charcoal like you would put on the weber and cook with. You may need to change them a couple of times as they absorb the odors, but they will absorb the odors. Keep the case closed and let them do their job.

I might add to ball the newspaper up so you can get a lot into the case, you may want to line it with paper first to keep the charcoal from the case insides. Or put the charcoal in a cardboard box cut down for the case. If you want to try just the newspaper alone, tho it may take longer. I did a freezer that someone unplugged while I was gone and it was nasty. Two changes of paper and charcoal over a week and it was a usable freezer again with no smell. It was bad before, ugh!!!!!!

Totally off subject - reading through the earlier pages of this thread made me realize how much I miss Paul Hosteter's contributions to this site. He is missed, and there were a handful of others on this thread who also seem to have "slowed down" or gone missing...sigh.
