Dessicant Packets

Recommended Posts

Silica gel is the most common desiccant, absorbs airborne moisture. Auto Supply's sell it for re-furbishing air compressor air dryers, I make up little bags of it with coffee filters and tape them shut with electrical tape. I use it in my gun cabinet, powder paint (to prevent clumping), and ammo reloading components. You can put it on an old cookie sheet and dry it in your oven at 230 degrees for about 2-3 hrs. I wouldn't eat it, but it's pretty stable and doesn't present much of a health hazard. Some of the product also has a moisture indicating coating that starts out blue and turns pink when it needs drying.
