I need some help and suggestions on how to remove stale cigarette smoke odor from styrene and resin model car parts? I received 3 separate eBay orders or should I say odors today and they are all so bad that they are in the garage!! Pretty sure I'm not the only person who is interested in how to get rid of the smokey smell off of model parts. Ive used dryer sheets to mitigate smoke and musty magazine odors with great success before. I'm hesitant to use dryer sheets with plastic and resin because most contain silicones in them for that anti static cling. Which is why I really am not too thrilled about using the dryer sheets with model parts, especially stuff I will be painting, one of the stinkers is a resin body! I get severe migraine headaches from being around stuff like this, so it's not just a nuisance odor. For some of us it can trigger life threatening Issues, asthma, severe migraines can and have triggered strokes, even if it's just a slight headache or burning nose and sinuses the whole thing can be a literal pain. So when you hear one of us "whining" about receiving stinky stuff we really do have an issue with it, we really aren't just complaining about something really trivial.
