For the few ... do you segregate scent tubes used for target odors from those used for lack of a better word *proofing*?

Right now I wash mine in hot soapy water then let sit in 10% bleach for 10 minutes. (Well, the HRD is why the bleach) then rinse and air dry.

I am torn as to whether my blanks should be kept seperate or whether washing this way is adequate. Insights? It would be more of a hassle to segregate them and manage them separately.

BTW I found a good source for PVC Pipe Nipples to make my own - that way I only have to buy the caps at the hardware store and don't have to glue on connectors. They are grey schedule 80.

at least for drugs....

it is important in the beginning when teaching the scents, but once the dog knows them, we don't make a big fuss about keeping them separate. with drugs, in the real world, usually where there's one, there's more...
