De-Stinking Leather

Tom, I checked on the web and the receipe for home tanning does involve gasoline or turpentine or diesel oil as a first step defatting agent. That is followed by a table salt and battery acid tanning mixture (Sodium chloride and Sulfuric acid if you want to sound like a consultant).
I suggest you take the holster out of the palstic bag and just put it in the litter box. Let it stay until the cat drags it out. You will at least have an explanation for the smell.

PS The Bulgarian surplus brotherhood says this serves you right for abandoning them as suppliers.
