Stinkin' Turtles

[Lost Yooper]

OK, so I got some Turtles, but what is that stench? The lubrication on the rubber stinks really bad. This didn't go over well with the wife . I tried soaking them in water with Simple Green, but so far, that hasn't worked.

Any solutions?

If they're made of natural rubber, it's the normal ambience of tree gum. Almost all rubber gear used to smell like that. My BioFins have that wonderful aroma. Otherwise, don't know.

remain underwater and you will not be able to smell them.

Good plan!

GM -- LOL!

This reminds me of an experience I had working in a department store one summer when I was in college.

A guy showed up to return a pair of dress shoes he had bought the previous day. When asked why he was returning the shoes, he complained that they smelled "too much like leather"....

imagine how bad it smells when you get three pairs of those guys in one room!

My wife refuses be in the same part of the building with them.

They will lose most of the stench once they have been in the cold water...at least that has been my experience.

I sure don't wanna have to make a choice in the matter...the fins or the wife? Hmmm .
