It came from the Black Lagoon

So I finally got my disc golf rake out in the warmer weather and tried it out. Pulled out a disc I had lost about four months ago from a lake. It is a Discraft Elite X Driver.

It cleaned up ok but smells very bad as it was on bottom of lake with lake mud and scum. If you a country boy as I am that is a most foul smell.

I have bleached it for two days but still kind of stinky. I now have it in a ziploc bag until I need to pull it out and use it.

Any advice on how I might better clean it up and it might smell good. I realize that some plastics are very absorbant but was hoping to get it smelling ok.

I had a similar problem and there is a discussion here: http://discgolfer.ning.com/forum/topics/how-do-i-clean-stinky-discs The vanilla seemed to work for me on the dx plastic but not as well on the Candy.

well, they make this stuff called "Axe". have you tried spraying a ton of it on your disc? Possibly febreeze?

hey now,I would leave them "lost" if the smell is permenant.Someone will be glad to "find"/keep your discs.A small price to pay for allowing someone else to play.Black out your info.Peace

well i dug it out trying to get a friends disc. he is a newb and he hated to lose a disc. but a disc found is a disc to give away or keep if you can.

i would try a bunch of baking soda and a little water ( make like a glue consistency ) and throw that and the disc in a ziploc bag for a week or so. if that doesn't work give it to a newbie or leave it on a tee pad for some random person. gl.

You only need one hand to throw,.......so pinch your nose closed with the other while throwing.......LOL. I found an old innova champion star Eagle.....the first disc style made, in La mirada lake. The leaves had left a pattern etched in the plastic on the bottom of the disc.......it looks cool the way i outlined it with a pen.. it still smells a little like duck & goose crap.

funny it sounds like the pet you get that just isn't working out.
