POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
How does one remove the smell of possum urine from one's wetsuit?
It has been over two months. Many surfs. Have soaked it. The smell's as strong as ever.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
I just dropped $500 on this one.
I don't know, I just feel like, if this doesn't get fixed soon, like I'm going to do something stupid.

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT

He'll take it off your hands for big bucks and "turn it" for a handsome profit!
Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
It gets cold enough to drop $500 on a wetsuit. And I don't want the thread to derail on that point. I want this thread to stay solution focused.
I didn't see the possum piss on my wetsuit, obviously, or I would have stopped it. I left it out on the balcony overnight. And before I went inside I saw a possum loitering out there. And the next morning my wetsuit stank of possum urine. So I drew an inference from those facts that the possum had pissed on my wetsuit.
But that's all by-the-by. The point of this thread is to find some way to get rid of the smell.

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT

If so he lives in "Darlo" or on second thoughts..........

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
I'd think that orange shite would rip the shit out'a wettie
I've looked for anti dog piss shit in the past (not for wetties though) and the some of the solutions included bi-carb ... So thinking along those lines try baby powder, it's been suggested on here in the past for keeping wettie nice and subtle over the winter/summer when storing so it can't be that harmful to your wettie and it might draw out the smell.
p.s I've had my dog piss on my wettie before not a nice surprise when your putting it on, I now make sure it's never hung anywhere near piss height and have to be careful that the missus never moves it.
p.p.s baby powder is supposed to be carcinogenic, I have nothing to back that up but just use it outside to be sure

If it's well engineered it's beautiful .
Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
try taking it to the drycleaners
Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
Dry it out, buy 2 boxes of moth balls from the chemist and seal them in a plastic container for a week or 2. If you can handle the moth ball smell you are set. If it doesnt work that well use it in a possum trap. You have to have a dig before you toss the suit.
Local cats pissed on and ripped the legs of a brand new O Neil wet suit (Pysho 2) recently but thats what you get for being mean to cats, they dont forget or forgive. Possums are are just shitheads they attack without cause..the cute littlke critters.

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
I worked in a winery for a while and we used to circulate citric acid through brand new pump hoses to take the plastic and rubber smell out of them. Try some lemon juice or buy some ascorbic acid from the chemist.
Also used to use deodorising carbon for certain stuff too, but I don't know where you could buy it.......maybe from some of those water filter people.

Get off the computer & go outside there's better things to do out there.

You know it doesn't work that way on here. Everyone will take the PISS out of you but there'll be some good suggestions in amonsgt the laughs for the rest of us. Oh! and BTW. I spent 14 years surfing in Sydney and only used budget priced O'Neill steamers bought on special. Never, ever was I uncomfortably cold. And I'm old

Re: POSSUM VIOLATES WETSUIT
Meataxe, try giving the suit a long soak in a bath of hot water and bicarbonate of soda. Turn it inside out first.
Then a full rinse out in a bath of cooler water.
Then hang out to dry in the same place as you put it before, and when the possum comes down to piss on it again, kill the possum. Think KK style, with some sort of martial arts weapon. The possum will try briefly to fight back, but when it realises you're serious about wanting to kill it, it will try to get away. Don't let it. Ignore the kiddies' screams. Remember your RealSurf nickname ... and live it.
