450 Gram Silica Gel

450 Gram Silica Gel Review

It's true, you won't get the little metal box that is pictured alongside the desiccant. What you will get is a coarse fabric bag with the desiccant beads and a box that it all goes in. The box is supposed to tell you when to go and dehydrate the desiccant.

Here's what I recommend:
Throw the box away.
Use the bag only because you can see the indicator beads through the coarseness of the fabric.
Put it in your safe (or whatever)
Purchase a cheap hygrometer to also keep in your safe
When the desiccant needs to be dehydrated, you will see pink beads.
Pour the beads into a cookie pan.
I think the instructions call for pretty high temps -- I, however, set the oven on 250 degrees, and find that within an hour or so all of the indicator beads are back to blue and ready to go.

Anyone using a safe absolutely must have some sort of drying agent or you are asking for mold and deterioration. Fire safes, at the time of sell, contain a lot of moisture, and their instructions will tell you as much.

I have a small safe. A single application of the product will get the humidity down to 20%. When the safe was brand new, I had to dehydrate the desiccant within a week. Then I went three weeks. Then I went two months. A year later, I find that I need to dehydrate the desiccant only about every three months or so (depending on how frequently I open the safe).
