Title: Chemical smell
Post by: Shooting Stix on February 04, 2016, 10:51:58 AM: I was curious if there is a good spray for mounts that have a chemical smell to it my wife keeps complaining about it or anything that will obviously not mess up the mount but cover up smell

Buy a good atomizer spray bottle that creates a really fine mist like the one's used for greenhouses and spray it over the mount so your not soaking it but the scope still binds to the odor molecules in the air and some of it will drift down onto the mount and absorb the odors coming off.

You might try Febreeze, but it's only a very temporary solution.
