I've made about 15-20 powder horns, and am quite familiar with the smell :-)
For flat powder horns I've had better luck dunking the horn in hot veg. oil for a few seconds and then pressing between 2 flat boards with a vise and screw clamps.
It's a lot less stinky and goes faster than a long boil in water.

While these horns look like a good deal for the money, it's a lot more fun and satisfying to make your own...but that's just me :-)
