Silica Gel

Post by Atticus »

Got some furniture delivered that had a whole bunch of dessicant packs in it. Saved them and placed a single package in a few of my Plano tackle boxes. Seems to keep the moisture off my hooks and other gear. My tackle boxes are kept on the boat and can get damp inside.

Anyone else ever use these things?

EDIT:

Also keep some bulk ammo in ammo cans in the house. Threw a few packs in the ammo cans on top of the shells. Peace of mind really. Looks like the silica gel packs are cheap (.42 each with free shipping).

They have to come with it from China. Most of it goes underwater twice before it gets here.

Start having those warehouse guys throw them in a box for us!
We can pass them out at the next social or Club meeting!

I haven't told you but I grew up in the furniture business- and was a rep for 7 years. Knew the Badcock boys.

If you knew Ben, Wogey, and Henry, especially Henry, dont hold it against me. Badcock has come a long way!!! :lol: By the way, If I provide the dessicant, does that open the door for JT51 to provide more defficant?!?!?!
