Using just a middle rack in the oven, I didn't need to cover it with a This should be faster if your computer has a convection mode. In addition, I shut off the oven and left them in there until the oven cooled down.
The temperature was kept at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees C) for three hours. There is a stamp on the top of the canister that contains instructions, if you forget.
I've just received a package of 4 in response to a request for
The pink color means they have taken in all the moisture they can and need to be reactivated. On the back are the instructions. They need to be heated at 300 degrees until the original color returns, I believe it is blue, then they are ready for use.

You are better off getting a bigger moisture eater since they soak up moisture and need to be recharged super fast. On a bigger one, I can get about a month out of it before it needs to be plugged in and dried. There is no way to soak up moisture in such a small space. They can only sustain As a result, I only gained an extra 2 or 3 days by using them all at the same time.
Since I live in a very humid climate, I've been using these for several years in my ammo cans. It's good to find the 4-star reviews The cost per unit is lower when buying in bulk. It seems to work quite well for this purpose and is almost effortless to operate. I have noticed that a few of the blue ones have changed color occasionally, but I just bake them according to the instructions and they dry out, turning blue again. To date, I have not had any trouble with them coming apart or spilling beads, but my containers tend not to be moved often. In the package it says that each one will dehumidify 3 cubic feet of enclosed space (1' x 1' x 3' or equivalent). This type of dehumidifier is not intended for areas with high humidity. This is an excellent choice for people who live in small, tightly enclosed spaces that need to be kept dehumidified.
Usually I use this dryer to dry items that are stored in ziplock bags or small sealed containers.
Unfortunately, ziplock bags allow a certain amount of moisture to leak through the thin plastic, which means dryers that use this method must be baked out frequently. In addition to the unique metal can offered by these dryers, the metal can itself can be directly placed in an electric convection toaster oven to bake out the silica gel beads, avoiding handling loose beads that would otherwise bounce all over the place. Trying to handle the can halves roughly can result in the halves coming apart. The possibility of that happening can be avoided by either removing a little painters tape before baking, or by using small sheet metal screws or pop rivets.
Your money will be saved if you Although the canisters are both reusable and effective, the seal on the top is one of the worst I have ever seen on a product (of any kind). They were dropped on two different occasions. Both times, it broke apart and hundreds of silica beads spilled into every nook and cranny of the room. Unlike the other occasion, it only fell off of my bed, so it would not even need to have tumbled from a great height for this to occur. In both instances after just one of the dehydration cycles in the oven, the occurrences only occurred. Sure, heat can do weird things to metal. Unfortunately, with this metal it is so flimsy that heating it makes it brittle that it loses its durability and hold, and.
Well, I guess I should just say that these things stink. It will take all the moisture out of your gun cases, leaving your weapons well protected. You should have these in your gun cases since they are a great product at a great price.
There's not much else to say, it lives up to its name. It is recommended that you take it out of the aluminum container and re-shake it before using It takes hours for the aluminum to reactivate after an oven session. The alternative is that aluminum deflects all heat. You will need anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to remove it Approximately 20 minutes.
I have purchased these in retail stores for twice the price. However, one of them was dented when I got it and I was not too concerned about its appearance. However, I just opened my ammo box and found the crystal cannister wide open and scattered all of You should not wait to ask for a replacement if you get one that is damaged It's obvious that they're.
Each unit arrived in a shipping bag within an Amazon box with four very well-made bags inside, each with a desiccator vacuum sealed inside. Thin, metal tins can be carried almost anywhere, and they're easy to store. Each unit had blue lights in the windows, showing that they were dry and fit for use. The oven can be used as a recharger.
