just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 6:35 pm Pending on where you live, you should really just leave it outdoors on a table for a while. As long as no rain that is. If you had a table to put it on in an area where no rain could get to it, just leave it open and turn the pages every day or so. A small fan blowing on it too would help.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/22/2014 5:13 pm My Dad (when he was alive) sold as a side business, Living Air machines, that use an ionization system, that probably would work well in case. If I had one I would rig up some dryer vent hoses to circulate the air through the closed bin. The machines worked really well, so well the Pentagon used them after 9/11 to clean the air from the smoke and diesel smell that permeated their building, with much success, I've been told. My Uncle (a heavy smoker then) got one for his home, and within days of installing it - his house was almost habitable for the rest of our family to visit again. just carl - I did that with an old set of 1949 Numismatist magazines, left them out in the sun for a day, turning them often, that helped a lot.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12844 Posts	Posted 09/17/2018 11:49 pm Still no update from GoldRush. Hmmmm..... Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/18/2018 06:59 am Oops ... Messed up ...I missed giving updates. The book was in the tub for a long time. Now it has been sitting out in a smoke free invironment. When I look through it now I barely notice any smell. Edited by GR58 09/18/2018 3:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 07:49 am Nice update. Musty smells are not too difficult to get rid of, but smoke is a real pain. I like the info here and sounds like the end result was a positive. Report this Post to the Staff
