MichiganShootist Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It took me some time, but I tracked down a great source to by the desiccant materials to use in storage containers for ammo, primers, and even my gun safe. www.silicagelpackets.com sells packets in sizes small enough for a ammo box and rechargable units large enough to absorb the extra humidity in an entire room. Their products are reasonably priced, (half the price of my local big box sporting goods store)....they ship the same day ...... and they charge ZERO shipping and handling. No---- I'm not their marketing manager..... just happy to find that there are still companies out there like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I just got one of these for my safe a month or so ago....seems to be doing a nice job of controlling the humidity and it can be "recharged" over night. http://www.eva-dry.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue edge Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) How long do they last? Befor they need recharged? Edited December 19, 2009 by blue edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 It depends on the humidity of the location. Put one in a bathroom and it "might" last only a day. In my fireproof gun safe they need to be recharged around 3 times a year......less if I wasn't opening the door all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Which size did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 They were so inexpensive I bought two which were about 8"- 10" tall. It should take care of a good sized room... but that way I'm not recharging them all the time. I don't think you could get one too big... but obviously you "could" get one that was too small. Fot a total price of around $30 or so it's worth it to me. What I bought dozens of.... was the 2 oz and 4 oz sized packets for all the ammo cans that I have stuffed with ammo..... and for ammo cans that have primers stored in them too. I do all my reloading during the long winter months up here.... then I never touch my Dillon all Summer ... so I end up with a lot to reloads that I want to protect.
