I tried the reciepe for it from this thread and it DOES work like a champ!!!! No more buying 7 dollar bottles at Walmart!!! Now if we could just get one of these bio-chemist from here to figure out how to impregnate my nasty old blood stained camo coveralls with charcole----I'd save a ton and be one happy camper!!!! The guys from Realtree and Advantage Camo would be **** their drawers if anyone could figure out how to do home made carbon-charcole clothing!!!! Come on you master minds out there.....I know we have a few chemist inventors out there in cyber land!!!...
Charcoal is charcoal same for the barbeque as for the air cleaner systems. Ony difference is it gets mashed up to give a larger surface area for collecting scent molecules from the air. I'd say if you found a scent free hard surface you could lay out your cover alls, spread charcoal briquettes under and on top. Then just stomp them until they are filthy with mashed and ground up charcoal.
May not be pretty but I can't see how it would be any less effective than the store bought stuff. Which I think is a waste of time.
BTW, my area of expertise is heating, ventalation, and air conditioning. Not rocket science but I do have to keep the white shirts happy and smelling "fresh" up in the offices.
