one of the reviewers said he had trouble with the leather odor- is this a problem for a long period of time? Or, is the odor easy to erase?

I have not noticed any odor. I still am happy with the purchase. It fits my Ruger SP 101 well. It is my favorite holster for that gun. It does not have perfect molding for any particular gun, and I see that as an advantage. if my shirt exposes the holster, it still does not look like a revolver.

Taurus 85 is what I got mine for. I put the belt on the outside and it's near invisible and snug! Just don't leave your piece in it, the tanned leather CAN eat the bluing off!

The odor of the holster that I bought changed as I put boot oil on it. The leather is very dry and required multiple oilings so I suggest picking your favorite leather oil and giving it a few coats. It will change the smell and help preserve the holster. Hope that this helps

I used mink oil to soften it up. Of course that puts in it's own odor. Then I let it bake in the sun, both sides for a few hours. Did it all again and it's odor is very quiet now.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

I've had mine about 6 months and so far I've gotten away with periodically soaking the filter in a bowl with a capful of Mr. Clean and water. I use this bucket extensively and haven't had a problem with odor using this method. I plan to go with a 2X's a year filter change.

It took the odor out of wood cabinets with a terrible mildew smell, but it took a long time. Since leather is also porous, it might. At the very least, it might make the odor less.

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.

Mine had no smell at all. The only problem I had was that it was too slick. Everything had a tendency to slide off, including my computer. It's probably varnish that you are smelling. If you live in a place where you can set it outside, you can let it "air out." If not, I suggest that you send it back.

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

I actually didn't get rid of the odor. It did go away after a few weeks of being outside in the toy shed. How ever I did have to wash it once cause my boys got it covered in mud. When I washed it I used auto soap that I normally use on my car. After that point there was a mild odor still from the car but now it has no odor at all. So it will go away with time.

It is easy to clean. But if you use it on a routine basis, you need to be diligent in cleaning it. Otherwise it starts to have a bad odor.

Fragrance seems to last very long time. I misplaced one bottle for a year and when I reopened it, the odor was still strong. I use it for breathing difficulties and that bottle worked just fine. Hope that answers your question.

It does have a plastic smell when you first get it. I used the Lemon scented Pledge wipes and within 3-5 days it subsided. I love mine, it was a nice price and great repair to my leather steering wheel that began to peel from years of use. Good luck. Hope you are as lucky as I was.

I had no problems at all. There was no smell in the box or on the product. I don't recall the writing as it's been a while since I bought it.

It's been over a year since I used it, but I don't recall being bothered by an overwhelming odor from the bag. Odor was not an issue for me. Hope this helps.

Hi there,Any natural fat grease will do the job read the label no chemicals as the will ruin leather.I personally use a piece of pork rind or lard it will smell at first but after couple uses is fine.Not to much frequent application is better,Good luck.

It had a very slight, but not offensive odor. I aired it out for 6 hours and it was completely gone. I really love it. Odor is really not an issue.
