<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9744400, member: 79705"]Silica is great, but it can only absorb so much and then they no longer work without heating them to get the moisture out (which you have to be careful about or they melt...). Most little bags are what come in products we buy, so they will only work for a short time, if they haven't already done their job in the product they were meant for. If someone wants to use silica, I recommend buying new and if possible, the type that have color-change beads so you can see when they're maxed out. Here, a large bag is done for after a month... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> I have used them in my fire-resistant documents box and it is insane how quickly I have to change packets out or I get mold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie102" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
