Hello List,

Mark's advise is a good one.....
"Also bear in mind that used up 'wet' silica Gel in an
enclosed space can actually increase the humidity (since damp silica can

dry out giving off water vapor) so recharge it regularly!!.

For a bit more general information on desiccants, check this out:
