I hate the smell of prime.. Has anyone had any success putting it in other kinds of bottles that seals better. Even under my stand i can still smell the stuff.

I always make sure to tighten the cap as much as possible and rinse of the bottle under the sink to avoid that awful sulfur smell. Maybe also try a large ziplock or large airtight tupperware.

I once accidentally spilled a whole bottle on the floor, and even though it was wood, it stank for days. I used baby powder to absorb whatever I couldn't dry.

I find the smell gets worse the longer it sits in the bottle after it is opened...so a fresh bottle does not stink as much as one that is already open for a while, IME

Smoke cigarettes for 40 years and no smell will bother you.

just don't be sloppy with it. I have never noticed the smell when the bottle is closed. I just don't spill it all over the sides ! lol

Well im sure 82% of us use the cap to measure it out.

Rinse the cap in your tank after adding it helps. You could also try putting a container of baking soda under the stand with it to absorb odors just like can be done for refrigerators.

Haha! :ROFL:Very very true.
Ya smoking helps I can barely smell anything. I still wouldn't recomend picking up the habit just to battle the smell of prime though, haha.
I've never smelled it through the bottle though. Maybe just put the bottle in a ziplock bag after you use it.
