Members roadking07 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 I brewed up a batch and dyed a wallet that I had made. It worked just like it was supposed to - my only question is how long does it take for the vinegar smell to go away? I did it about two weeks ago and have left the wallet outside to air out and the vinegar smell is still present. I did neutralize the wallet in a baking soda/cold water bath and then applied neatsfoot oil. Is there anything I can do to take the vinegar smell away ( I hate the smell of vinegar)? Would applying saddle soap help with the smell? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you, MDH Quote
Members dbusarow Posted March 14, 2009 Members Report Posted March 14, 2009 All I can think of is that you didn't rinse it out well enough after the vinagaroon soak. Holsters I've vinagarooned and followed with a baking soda rinse then clear water rinse lose the smell within a couple of days. Since you've already oiled it you probably just need to wait. Dan Quote
