Tiny desiccant bags

[Shopdog]

Like Wayne said, Hercules powder had an add in the magazines showing a original batch of Bullseye powder that was kept in a bottle of water the add said. It was taken out occasionally dried and tested. They claimed it tested as good as new powder and the original sample was about 100 years old when the add came out.

Got a framed print of this Bullseye ad hanging in our shop bathroom.

I have been using them for years. Bought a big bag of them from China for about 3 cents apiece. Easy to rejuvenate. Youtube has many videos on how to.
I use them in powder coating powder.

I keep some in a metal ammo can along with the bags of powder coating materials. This seems to make PC work better for shake N bake bullet coating. It keeps the relative humidity down to about 20% during the powder storage.

I rejuvenate the silica gel by placing the extra bags on the top of the toaster oven while cooking the PC on the bullets.
