Hi Holly Dale Air sell what I thin they call ‘aroma cubes’, which are designed for exactly this kind of job. They are little plastic cubes about 2 inches side, with holes like a pepper-pot in the ‘top’, and come pre-impregnated with whatever pong you please, Fro memory they cost about a fiver each, and come in sets of four. If this is too much, what about the little glass pepper-pots you find in cafes? Put some cotton wool with the pong on it in the pepper-pot, and screw the lid down hard. If you’re worried about the lids coming off put a dab of PVA on the screw thread before doing it up. The dale air cubes are much the best solution though if you can get them. They last about 3 months before the smell vanishes. Hope this helps Cheers Richard.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I should put them in to go in the backpacks? I’m worried about making sure they are safe! I wondered about a little lip balm type pot of cotton wool with a few drops…has anyone done this before? > > Thanks in advance, > > Holly > > Holly Jarrett > Education and Outreach Officer > > Please note my working days are Monday – Thursday 9am – 5pm. > > Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life > Beck's Square > Tiverton > EX16 6PJ > 01884 256295 > Registered charity 239531 > > WINNER of the Bronze Award, Small Attraction, Visit Devon Awards 2015 > WINNER of the Bronze Award, Access & Inclusivity, Visit Devon Awards 2015 > LONGLISTED for The Telegraph’s Family Friendly Museum of the Year Award 2015 > WINNER of the GOLD Award Small Visitor Attraction, Visit Devon Awards 2013 > WINNER of the Bronze Award, Small Visitor Attraction, South West Tourism Excellence Awards 2013/14 > > Home of Tiverton's Tourist Information Service - WINNER of the Bronze Award, Information Service of the Year, Visit Devon Awards 2014 www.exploretiverton.co.uk > > Visit our website to find out what's on: www.tivertonmuseum.org.uk > Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/TivertonMuseum > Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/TivertonMuseum > > > > + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GEM + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GEM + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
