Title: Fume board questions
Post by: rose on August 16, 2008, 10:20:45 PM
This was my first year of beekeeping...I decided to use a fume board today and it worked great. I had to use the "stinky stuff" because the other stuff I ordered hadn't arrived yet. So I need to know is there anything that gets this smell off after you use it?  How do I go about storing it? I regret using it because of the stink and next year may go another route, but for now it smells like sweaty dirty feet and I don't know what to do with it. LOL....newbees gotta luv 'em.

   Ummm.  Good luck with that.  I almost used it once.  Spilled a little  (maybe a drop or two) on my hands and was glad the family was gone for a week...  Wish I knew about the toothpaste though!

 I would put it out in the sun for awhile and see if that helps...
