Colin:
To neutralize the methenamine odor, I add 2 drops of glacial acetic acid to
2 gallons of decanted recycled xylene.
Your xylene will smell like xylene again.

Subject: Recycled Xylene Odor
Our recycled xylene has a "methenamine" odor (also
described as distilled tissue smell and fishy).
My question is: are there any deodorizers available
which will take out this smell so that xylene smells
like xylene?
I would like to hear from histotechs and vendors.
