De-Stinking Leather

Alanint,

Yes, I thought it was actually a pretty good product, despite all the fun which was poked at it. I have used a good bit of it for motorcycle seats and reupholstering the interior side panels of my old Beech Bonanza. In retrospect, it probably would have generated some really bad gases in case of fire.

For auto seat upholstery, Uniroyal made a breakthrough when they learned how to ventilate it with small holes, etc.

Naugahide, or a nearly identical product, may still be in production. Anybody know? But it's certainly of no value for things like holsters.

Ah, I sure miss those little suckers sometimes; jumping up on their hind legs under the kitchen window, banging those front feet on the soft aluminum siding, begging for their favorite treat of mashed bananas, mixed with coca leaves. It always made them do the cutest little traditional Chilean dance.

Anytime they started to act up, or get really out of line, all I had to do was snap my fingers and say "Uniroyal" in a loud voice, and they'd straighten right up; didn't want to find themselves on that production line, sprayed with orange die and rolled all up.
