Any ideas guys ? I have an AP rubber strap that smells like a box of Marlboro's. I got a headache wearing it today. Any ideas on how to get the smell out ?

On new straps I get the chemical smell out by leaving the strap a day or two in a bowl of water placed over a heater to keep the water warm but not to hot. After two days you can see all the nasty chemicals dissolved into water and the smell is gone.

Try scrub it with detergent powder using a toothbrush.

I took the only strap I had off my! Diver and sold it to you so you would have one. And this is how you repay me?

If it's a Diver strap there is another way, but it involves selling it to me to tell you.
