## Discrepancy

AT 37,000 FT BOTH CREWMEMBERS NOTED A BOLD ACRYLIC ODOR IN THE COCKPIT.   RAN  ENVIRONMENTAL SMOKE/ODOR CHECKLIST. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, ODOR SEEMED TO DISSIPATE.  NOTIFIED ATC AND WERE GIVEN  PRIORITY HANDLING. AFTER COMPLETION OF THE CHECKLIST & BEING VECTOR ONTO THE APPROACH AT 3000 FT,  ODOR PRESENT AGAIN.  ODOR SEEMED TO COME  FROM THE GASPER VENTS BUT IT WAS VERY HARD TO ISOLATE.  INSPECTED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE.
