I sound pretty smart huh? Well, it's only the sound. I'm pretty in tune with chlorine because it's used in aquaculture for disinfecting water and washing tanks etc. So we had to nuetralize it or any residue will kill the algae and shrimp we try to grow. But, the tomato worked the best for getting the s**t smell off my shoes and my friend's bcd. (see my first post in this thread)

I guess that makes you the MR Clean of the aquaculturalist world ehh??.. You guys trying to cross mutate a tomato stuffed algetic shrimp. Try eaten a crawfish, just as spicey, but with out the s**t.

I take it you're a aquacultuelist eh?? Trying to grow some mutated tomato, alggetic shrimp. Try eaten a crawfish

It's a little early in the day to be hittin' the sauce, ain't it amigo? ;)
 
Another great disinfectant is the sun. Just set your bc out in the hot sun for a few hours and the smell will go away.

First thing, It's never to early

Second thing,I was with ya until you start talken about baking. The last thing that he needs is to cook that s**t into his gear. The fish would love it but I don't think the chicks'll dig it. After all it's all about the chicks

Are you kidding me? The first thing I do with a new bcd is leave it out in the yard and sun for about a week, to bleach it out so I don't look like a newb when I use it the first time. Same with a new wetsuit. Grind a few holes in the knees and leave it in the sun too. Chicks don't dig newbs.
 
ahem, in my case it's not all about the chicks, kinda comes with being a (heterosexual) female and all.

No Chlorine or tomatoes for my BCD, I'll get Sink the Stink imported. And no, diveshops here in the Netherlands don't have the bcd wash.

But thanks for all your info!

You mean you dig newbs? or you just don't like tomatos?

I apologize darlin, meant no offense, the chicks do dig it thought. Scuba board is like a box of chocalates, you never no what your biten into. Tea bag it in the pool though
it works.
 
Caje, if you're eating crawfish without the... digestive tract and its contents, you're a lot more meticulous about eating them than anyone else I know ;)
