vujade 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I guess this is a 'tech' question. I was cleaning my Saiga the other day and tipped the big bottle of hoppes 9 down the entire front of my pants. The jeans/clothes have been watched 3x and the strong smell persists. How can I get rid of the smell? My wife is pissed because she got these jeans for me and they are supposed to be a name brand or something. (and it accents my buttocks) On the good note, because of this accident I no longer have jock itch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kencrawleysc 11 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Probably the smelliest ingredient of the 9 ingredients is amyl acetate. It is also known a "bananna oil." I checked, there are some compatible odor solvents to try to remove the odor (no kidding!): beer (soak the jeans in some beer) apple juice (same thing, but not such a sinful waste) and even more interesting: citronella oil and an actual solvent for amyl acetate: alcohol (actually, in Hoppes #9 is moonshine alcohol) I would think any of those four liquids would be worth a try. What a waste! If the gun shop would sell a clothing line with "gun smells" wouldn't that be attractive? And the citronella would keep the skeeters off your brand name buttox .

Azrial 1,091 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 You want to get rid of it? Hell, I used to splash some on as an Aftershave when I was dating to help make sure that I attracted the right kind of woman! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaddis 1,689 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Get a big bottle of that Australian Sweet's copper cutting ammonia gun cleaning shit and spill it all over the jeans. Hell, getting a whiff of that crap usually sobers my ass right up. I think I'd rather be in the room when those two chicks lance that guy's back cyst. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banshee 69 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I don't own a bottle of hoppes. I hate the smell, it turns my stomach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bc5000 26 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I was changing oil on my truck not too long ago and managed to dip the leg of my brand new Wranglers in the pan of used oil. I didn't figure there was any way to get that out since it was soaked all the way through, so I pulled them off and put them straight in the burn barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
