De-Stinking Leather

Not ever having tried to perform such an un-stinking operation I might guess that a combinaiton of Ed Tinker's and Jerry Burney's methods might work. The baking soda and charcoal both absorb odors, but I don't know if it is necessary to immerse the case in either. Putting a layer of either or both in the bottom of a plastic container and then setting the case on top of a grid over the baking soda/charcoal and leaving it in the sealed container until the stink goes away might do the job. Certainly would make cleanup a lot easier.
