I am out of ideas and figured it was time to break down and ask the experts.
A few weeks ago I was walking around the local Meg-Lo-Mart and found a nice locking tupperware that would be perfect for a tupperdor. I brought it home and in my lazyness it sat for a few days. One day while cleaning up I threw some cutters, 2 spanish cedar blocks, some matches and such inside. I also threw in (without thinking) a half full, open bag of 70% humidiity beads and sealed the sucker closed.
Time goes by..1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks... etc...
I find the time capsule and when I opened it a wonderful greenish-black mold covered everything. After tossing out the crap I have 2 issues.
1. My beads while not moldy anymore stink like an old musty cellar. Can figure out how to get the smell to be gone. I tried leaving them out in a bowl, rehydrating, dehydrating, yelling at them, pointing in an aggressive tone and throwing some away so the others can see. Are they salvageable?
2. My tupperdor (against my wife's wishes) went into the dishwasher for a few cycles and sat for a few days with baking soda but still stinks like an old folks home. I wouldn't dare put any sticks inside. Anything that tastes like this smells would make me gag. So, there are 2 sticks (Pirates Gold in case you are interested) in there now, purely for science reasons :laugh: But, is there a way to get this smell out of the plastic? Or is this tupperdor destined to hold small screws in the garage?
This is depressing...
