Stinky Clears!

[mickeymac]

So I set my newly opened set of clears out 2 nights ago and they look great, but I noticed when I came home tonight that something smelled like a skunk around all my vinyl. For the most part I love the way the vinyl smells (like when I open up my cases.... I like to take a good whiff of them), but the clears just don't smell the same. I almost feel like putting them away until I can get a case for them because they are so stinky. Anyone else feel the same way about these bad boys?

hahahahahaha.... i dont know if its ur clears only... but mine do not smell like that hahaha... that is pretty funny though hahaha...

I noticed the clears do, its probably because of the pure plastic material they're made of. I noticed the same with my DVC vinyl

Hmm, I haven't noticed any smell from mine at all! Interesting.

Speaking of smell, yes I noticed the smell when I opened the clear vinyl I had ordered...and it also had a kind of white coating on it.....but it's nothing compared to the smell of the 9" NYC vinyl !!!! It smell like paint ! It's really awful when you first open it !

I noticed some of my sport series have a strong rubber smell too.

Yep, mine are pretty smelly too! Not sure what to do about it either because we've had them since they first came out a couple years ago and they still stink!

Thanks Diz...that tells me that I really need to throw them in some sort of case. Ugh... They're bad!

I do notice that... It gives me a headache. I have to open and inspect the vinyls as quick as I can then put them on a shelf for a while. The smell does fade, and I think that they are totally worth it.

Mine stunk for about 2 days or so..it seems to eventually die off.

The clears do smell unsusually strong. It's not the typical Vinylmation smell... it's much more dank. All my clears have also had a whitish powdery residue on them. It sort of looks like flour or dust.

when i first opened all of my clears from my case, they smelled so strongly of "fart", it was unbearable... i had them in a bag, and when i opened the bag i couldnt even breathe... just horrible

Ahhh, the gift that keeps on giving. ;)

they do smell but if you leave the out and keep them by an open window for a few days it goes away

Ugh my DVC vinyl was smelling something nasty! I let it air out and now it is fine, but OMG was it stinky!

[Tink]

I got mine from DS.com and they smelled horrible. I can remember opening them and thinking the fumes were probably toxic! Another batch I ordered when they went on sale didn't smell as bad. I am wondering if it is a certain place they store some of them.

[maester]

While reading this post it reminded of how bad they do smell! It's bc of the material they/re made out of

[elysium]

Yes, the clears definitely smell more. Probably because they are not covered with a coat of paint...nothing to impede the smell.

sorry i had to laugh but its pretty funny!!

[FearTheEars]

I got the Blue from the series while doing the blind box, and the smell of it drove me to trading it right away lol

[MsDisneyFan]

Just found this thread and it made me laugh out loud! I got my first clears when they went on sale at DS.com and the smell was super overwhelming! Skunky is a good word for it, definitely!
