Dry & Dry [7.5 LBS] Blue Indicating Silica Gel Beads(Industry Standard 3-5 mm) - Reusable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads(Blue to Pink)

I recently purchased the Dry & Dry (1 Gallon) Premium Silica Gel, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance! This product has exceeded my expectations in every way.Firstly, the packaging is fantastic. The gallon-sized container is sturdy, easy to open, and reseals perfectly to keep the silica gel fresh and effective. The included scooping tool is a nice touch, making it easy to dispense the right amount.As for the product itself, the silica gel beads are high quality and highly effective at absorbing moisture. I use them in various places around my home, including my closets, storage bins, and even my camera bag. Since I started using Dry & Dry, I've noticed a significant reduction in humidity and no signs of mold or mildew.What I love most is the color-changing indicator beads. They turn from orange to dark green when it's time to recharge the silica gel, so there's no guessing involved. This feature is incredibly convenient and ensures that the product is always working at its best.Overall, I highly recommend the Dry & Dry Premium Silica Gel. It's an excellent investment for anyone looking to protect their belongings from moisture damage. The large quantity, effectiveness, and thoughtful design make it a top-notch product. I'll definitely be purchasing this again!

I have bought 2 of these in the last couple of years because of how well it works. recharging them in an oven @ 220* for about 1.5 to 2 hours, good to go!

I use this in my watch cases and any other case, like ammo cans - to pull ambient humidity from the air and mitigate any risk of corrosion, rust, oxidization, and/or mildew from forming. This is critical for hermetically-sealed containers and non-ventalated boxes. The three watches in the sealed container all have their crown stems pulled, I always put new watches in this for a few days to pull as much moisture out of the movement as possible - then store my watches in these boxes over a bed of silica beads withvthe stems pulled out. I also use those little teabags in my strap drawer and all of my wife's jewelry box drawers. Outstanding product!

Exactly as desired

There are a lot of options on Amazon (and other places) for dessicant packs. I have researched all of them.This product is the best value if you need a large volume of dessicant in bulk. But you are going to have to put it into some type of container unlike a lot of the pre-made options, which are much more expensive for the volume of dessicant.If you look on this site for other products, you will find a lot of reviews wherein they say that the product does not recharge (i.e. when you reheat the product to dry it out, it doesn't dry out and work a second time.) I can definitely say I have recharged this product and it was ready to use again after about 10 minutes at 200 degrees in an oven. (I think the actual product directions said to bake it longer, but that was not necessary. It turned back blue in about 10 min.)

Good product but the containers arrived so swollen that they cannot stand up, making it difficult to store properly.

I use silica gel beads for a BUNCH of different projects. Basically its use case boils down to this:1) is this item something that I don't want to ever get wet from ambient humidity?2) is this item currently wet but I need it to be dry and can't use normal drying methods?If the answer is yes to either of those, using silica gel beads is a good idea. If I'm putting books, comics, or cards in long term storage, for example, I throw a few packets for beads into a plastic tub, put the items in there and do my best to seal up the tub. Same goes for electronics, ammo, weapons, dry foods, etc.Best part is it's reusable! Over time it will pull moisture out of the air and change colors. After that you just bake it for a bit to dry it out, and it's good to go!

Keeping my air dry like god intended.Update: after using these for several months and abusing them with drying air for a sandblaster, they did need regenerating. Dried back out just fine and still working good. I can see these lasting for quite a while.
