Its worth noting that airfresheners and deodorizers only work three
ways. Some have an oil base that coat the particles with oil so they cannot get airborne. Others have a strong deoderant that overpowers the offensive odor with a different one. And a third kind have an anesthetic that numbs your nose. If you don't mind your raft smelling like a locker room or new car, then use the second type: knockout is this type. If you don't mind your entire sense of smell going by the wayside, then some Lysol or Bloo Goo would do it. The problem with the first type is that, in a moving raft, its VERY hard to keep the particles down...all that sloshing stirs it up pretty well. First of all, never pee in the groover...that solves some of the sloshing problem (as well as the fermentation bomb problem). Ashes work well, but you have to toss in enough to coat the top, each time, and eventually that adds up to several additional ammo cans because of the bulk. I haven't tried it, but I'd bet anything that a simple hand-pumped pesticide sprayer with vegetable oil in it, mist-sprayed over the top just before you box it up for the day would do it quite well. But for the record, the anasthetic ones are the ones that work the best. You know that's whats being used when someone gets on the groover boat and says 'pyew! How can you stand this stench?" and then a minute later says "hmmm, its actually not so noticable once you get used to it." --riverman |
