never keep the stuff around so it was not a consideration for a immediate "spot 
fix" (nice pun, think i'll leave it in) ... though the "baby powder" did 
wonders (always keep it around for summer ... hint: if you favor kilts in the 
summer, and you wear them "correctly", toss a small container in the personal 
section of your tourney kit ...).  guessing that cornstarch would have worked 
as well ... much easier using a "dry cleaning" method in the middle of the 
night than a wet one.

someone on the herbal list mentioned something my grandmother used to use, and 
i had forgotten about until reminded - vinegar ... guess the smell of a giant 
pickle beats the smell of deceased & fermented squirrel (grin).

the next-day solution was a wash with the old reliable Doc Bonner's liquid soap 
... that my house *always* keeps on hand.  that stuff will cure just about any 
ill in the known universe - more if you read the label claims (g)
