I went into the archives and did some home work.I found something that interesed me,using dry dog shampoo.So 10:30 last night I drove 15 miles to walmart and got some. It was like a powder,so 11:30 last night I started rubbing it in.Went up to the house,had a coffe and went back down to the shop to vaccum it out.It would not come off.The bear was a power white after 15 min of vaccuming.The power stuck to the hair and skin.So I took some hair sheen and rubbed the hair out to a high gloss black,all I could smell was the sheen.I noted this morning the sheen smell was gone,and it had a baby power smell to it.But that biting odor it had was gone.I just got done working for today, it's 10:00 pm.It still smell like baby power,but not strong.No biting odor.I get the feeling this will work.I'm going to check it out over the next 10 days,if everthing goes as planned,i'm going to call him up,tell him you owe me 150 bucks and if you want me to make it look like a black bear,give me another 175 and i'll do it.I'm getting tired of doing these kinds of jobs for nothing.

Hair Sheen loses it's smell after about 7-8 days, up to 10-14 if you lay it on thick. All the success you think you had, goes away.
Been there, done that, stopped using that product.
Best you hit it with something that actually gets rid of odor and doesn't mask it.
If something like Love My Carpet for pet odors or Fabreeze would do anything. Or maybe a carpet shampoo for pet odor? I guess though that if it wasn't fleshed out real good it would just stink anyway for quite awhile until it finally dried out. I never tackled a bear and really don't want too so I don't know much about them .Don't bears just naturally kind of stink at first anyway ? Bradlee
