OK dumb question...
 

Is it possible to get the smell of 40 year old Hy-Tran out of rubber?

Here's the story.... when I went to change the fluid in the 127 some (about a gallon) of hy-tran spilled on the garage floor.... Well, I had my good NB 992 on (USA made) and apparently some of the hy-tran soaked into the sole or something. Now they reek of old hy-tran. Not that I mind it that much, but apparently my wife doesn't like the smell as much as me. Oh ya, I've washed them a couple times too.

" I love the smell of Hy-Tran in the morning......smells like Victory "

that's what I'm saying.... much better than that bath and bodyworks crap!

:buttrock:


Try simple green? I'd let the soles soak in that full strength for a while in a shallow pan.

I'll get it a shot... I guess now I see why some places require chemical resistant soles.

I have found that when I mow the dog kennel, the stuff in there will petty much take any smell you had on tires and completely replace it. Not saying it's any better, LOL. :biggrin2::biggrin2:

I laughed, haha!

That's why you need a kennel big enough to ride instead of push!!! been there, done that!

how did the shoes turn out? hope it all went well!

wash your shoes with a can of coke in the water. that should do it. When in the military I had to wash my overalls and that is what I used. We had to work on some nasty stinky stuff.

It will also take the smell of human decomp out of you skin as well.
