Well, my package arrived Friday evening. I would agree, the non adhesive tape that waltons is using is working fairly well at being a non stick variant. Box was wise open (everything was in the box)

Jonathon we use the same method for de-skunking our hunting dogs. It works really well. We keep a supply at the hunting cabin just in case.

Jonathon Tomato juice never has worked for me, but the peroxide and Dawn worked well as did vet shampoo.

Jonathon: I am a retired Firefighter, and before I retired worked 24 hour shifts with 8 other guys. This was before anyone had ever heard of or worried about Toxic masculinity. One of the crew ran a trap line during the winter and made his own scent hider to put on the traps and spray around the area. The main ingredient was skunk scent. He gathered this from the scent glands of skunks. We all grew mustaches, but this guy had a MUSTACHE. One day he found a freshly deceased skunk and was in the process of gathering the ingredients for his scent hider. Something went way wrong and he got a blast of full strength skunk straight to the mustache. He said that he learned first hand why skunk sprayed dogs froth at the mouth and rub their heads in the grass. After this encounter his wife made him keep a supply of tomato juice in the garage and his pickup. The tomato juice did make him tolerable at the Station, but for a long time after this you wanted to be up wind from him if he got his mustache wet.

Idaho Smokey Dang. That would suck. If that happened to me I would check my masculinity at the door and shave that mustache off FAST.
Still would have to live with the after effects but that mustache would just be scent-sponge for a long, long, long, time. -
WE live on The Columbia River which is skunk central. Lots of orchards and farms here. The growers and farmers all carry Massengill Douche. We bought some and unfortunately our lab got nose to nose with one and sprayed. We jumped in the shower together and then washed my clothes in it. Smell was completely gone so there are several boxes in the cabinets.

Jonathon There are a few other sources for the acid kill, but you will not like what I have to say. They can be washed off though a lot easier than the skunk they kill. They work for jellyfish stings too.

Jonathon: I did some searching online and found several skunk odor removers for dogs. The one in the link gets the best reviews. https://www.petsmart.com/dog/cleaning-supplies/stain-and-odor-removers/natures-miracle-lavender-skunk-odor-remover-5323491.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIluj70eOQ-wIVcRnnCh23ewRfEAQYASABEgKB5PD_BwE

Yup. Here’s the one I’ve been using for years:
1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap, which breaks up the oils in skunk spray and allows the other ingredients in the solution to do their stuff. The solution, after applying, should then be rinsed off.
If it’s been a really close encounter… sometimes a second application is needed.

I just recommended this recipe to a friend. Her dog almost caught the skunk before it sprayed and took a direct shot. Poor dog was foaming at the mouth and is truly miserable. -
Been there, done that. Unfortunately… dog was on a leash at the time, and tho I jerked so hard I fell backwards… skunk still won. Got both dog and me. That’s why I swear by this recipe. Dog was foaming, I was all but puking, but after two (or was it three?) rounds in the shower w/ this mix… I still didn’t want a wet dog on the couch or bed… but it really saved the day.
