How do you get rid of the rubber smell?

P.S. Genaral update on the rubber pan: It has now been THREE MONTHS of the pan airing out outside, and IT STILL SMELLS!!! Ugh. Definitely a "never again" moment.

We all have those learning never again moments. I would consider using it in the shed or barn for storage, in the garage for an oil drip pan, or simply cut your losses and toss it.

I have a friend who uses those rubber pans on her farm to feed her sheep (dry pellet feed). I wonder if it would be okay to give it to her. Dry pellets won't absorb stuff from the pan the way it may leach into water... so it might be okay... I don't want to give her anything dangerous, but I'm also not convinced the pan is actually dangerous (certainly not for feeding dry pellets).
