Skunk spray? I doubt it. Get a bunch of mercaptan type crap on clothing and it is not very prone to coming out easily or quickly. Happened to me once, although something FAR beyond skunk spray in the league tables of foulness. I had to bag some of the stuff up, take it away outside away from the house and people, and torch the bags without opening them. I didn't hang around near the fire either.
I found a cap from an empty acetone bottle, that had several large rocks of pure, uncut (obviously. Because I have standards) prope in it. Now I not only feel alright again, but feel positively lurrvely, all warm and relaxed dand squeeee:D Plus having that in one big fat shot with the rest of my dibenzoylmorphine (plus some methamphetamine) means I can laze around on the sofa for ages longer before I must start work preparing palladium catalysts, hydrogenating it, cleaning the stuff, leaving it in the dessicator over caustic soda and anhydrous calcium chloride mixture, and of course the obligatory distillation of the formic acid to be used as reductant for palladium chloride (would be fine as is for most purposes, but catalysts in general must be held to a very high standard of care and quality when being made by and for the chemist and their lab rather than buying pre-made catalysts, because the quality and efficacy o their catalytic activity often depends highly upon the quality of the reagents used, the care taken by and skill of the chemist themselves (although however, plat cat and plad cat are quite simple to prepare, its just that certain elements especially can befoul the finished product, lead, and sulfur in particular, in the case of precious metal catalysts based on the platinum group metals such as platinum, of course, palladium being two very much prone to catalyst poisoning, rhodium, rhenium, osmium, ruthenium and iridium also find such uses. Although in certain cases catalysts can be prepared and DELIBERATELY poisoned to an extent, varying in the quantitative and qualitative nature of the poisoning method and extent employed. Lindlar catalyst, being a palladium catalyst that is deliberately poisoned to lower the activity, its palladium metal plated onto calcium carbonate in fine particulate form, as most of these precious metal catalysts are formed, they are some platinum-group metal precipitated/plated onto various solid supports, palladium or platinum metal on activated carbon are particularly common examples, in the case of Lindlar cat, its palladium on CaCO3, then treated with lead salts to poison it, lending the reagent selectivity for certain substrates when used, like these catalysts almost always are, for catalytic hydrogenation reductions, which if not poisoned would reduce other functional groups on molecules which the chemist does not wish to reduce. Poisoning deliberately like this, allows it to reduce some, but not other functionalities within a molecule.
