Objet : Desiccant Supplier

I purchased my dessicant from "Silica Gel desiccant Products Co." there
address is 734 Hyde Park Blvd. Inglewood Ca 90302 their phone number is
310-673-5196. I purchased 75 bags of the 1/2 unit size. They came in a
metal can like you would get a gallon of paint in. I dont recall the
cost, but it did come with the indicator thingy. I like it so I know
that it is completely dry in my seed chamber.

They are very helpful and will fax a price list on all their products
upon request. The Desiccant can be purchased in many different sizes.
The 1/2 unit size is a pack approx. 3" x 3" x 1/4" thick. It can be
reactivated in an oven at 245__”•“}‘’•’þø÷ùöó÷__+J“c+ oh heck 245
degrees, I will have to check with Narek on what the alt code is for
that symbol. Oh yes 245 degrees for 16 hours.

Best of Luck
