Title: Dry Shake
Post by: Wildfisher on October 23, 2021, 05:08:41 PM
Is that dry shake desiccant powder still available?  It's great for sorting out waterlogged CDC dries but I stopped using it due to the nonsensical price tag.

Is there a reasonably priced alternative?

I did read somewhere that the desiccant powder in the little bags that come inside some electronic packages works.

I use these in vacuum sealed bags to keep 3D printer filament dry. (high humidity fecks the stuff and I live in Lochaber).
Easy enough to "recharge" in a few minutes in the microwave.
Should work in a sealed bag.
