Very helpful!You get that you pay for.
Hahaha that's what I thought! Doesn't really smell like cat piss. However, definitely would not rule that out as a factor.....Safe might have been used to store meth
i would reseach how they decontaminate meth in houses and try that
Cat piss or meth? lolOzone it.
Heck I've been anodizing titanium and the bubbles are reminding me of what an ozone generator smells like.
I have rechargeable dehumidifiers in the safe, when the pellets turn purple they get the 120v for a few hours.
For the record, I never smelled meth that had a cat piss aroma. Lord knows I had enough of it in my past up my nose and in my mouth.
Yes, nothing was in there that shouldn't have been.Have you pulled the safes interior door off and looked inside that area?
Copy, thank you!I've also purchased brand new metal things that gave off a pungent smell right out of the box. The culprit was factory grease on Harbor Freight saws/grinders, etc., and Chinese bb/pellet guns (quite possibly from the same factory when I think about it). Perhaps some US manufacturers buy the same grease? Who knows?
In all cases, a thorough hosing and scrub with any variety of solvents (paint thinner, mineral spirits, alcohol, WD40, etc.) got rid of the smell. Then properly re-greased with something less offensive.
Be careful to preclude voiding any warranty or avenue for return/refund by taking matters into your own hands.
Purchased a Kodiak gun safe. The one with the swing out rack. It was used and previous owner said it was less than a year old. A 1,500-2,000 dollar safe (depending where you look) for 900 bucks? I jumped on it.
When I went to look at the safe and pick up for purchase it seemed fine. Had been inside of a garage. In the pictures they had posted it showed a dehumidifier, rechargeable kind.
Myself, my old man and a buddy get this monster 700+ pound safe home. Great right?
Next day, my garage smelled like a street worker on Christmas. Fishy. My garage does not have heaters or anything of the like. Attic is insulated, garage doors are solid wood, house stays about 74 degrees.
I took the shelving out, placed it outside because the smell was killer. Ran a box fan, put baking soda inside of the safe. Then I purchased odor remover deal (with charcoal). That didn't do the trick, I would let it air out (door open) for a few hours and run the box fan.
I have 2.5 rechargeable dehumidifies on order and arriving "Thursday". In the mean time, I liberated my plug in dehumidifier rod from my liberty safe (stored indoors within the confines of the home). I am hoping this does the trick within the next week or so.
Thought I would reach out to our community and see if there are any other tricks, suggestions, ideas, jokes. Whatever helps honestly. Did I make a mistake buying this safe for 900 dollars? I ideally would like the safe inside of the home but that's not even in the question.
Lightning strikes produce ozone, as well as nitrogen oxide. Maybe leave the safe open on a golf course and let the lightning do the job.Very distinct smells that often stays with you. We have an ozone machine that we use at work (real property investments). With using said machine, is there any harm to whatever is in the safe? Firearms? Etc?
Thanks DB. I did put a bowl of coffee grounds in initially for a day or so.Believe it or not put some coffee grounds on a flat cookie sheet and close the safe door for 3 days. This little trick took out the smell of a smokers car I bought as a cheap commuter car several years back.
