If you use the indicating silica try and get the orange. I heard the blue has carcinogens. As for recharging I just put them in the microwave on defrost setting for a minute or so until it turns back to orange.

don't have to watch the oven
plus it's pretty inefficient to heat up the whole oven to dry out dessicant packs

I use a toaster oven  :thumbsup:

other silica pacs can also be rechrged by drying SLOWLY UNDER LOOOOOOOOW HEAT in the oven.

~ 250 degrees for twenty minutes

I see some "how to" videos on making desiccant packs from cat litter and coffee filters. Has anyone done this? There is nothing wrong with putting in too much desiccant is there?

Preferably unused cat litter. :shaka:

I used to sell this stuff called humisorb at the gun shows.
It was mil surplus.
The bag says reactivate 16 hours at 250 degrees. See pic.
