Hi all.
I just bought a 2.6litre air tight container and 500gms of silica gel.
I need to know how much silica gel do i need to put inside the air tight container for the right amount of humidity for my camera and lens.
Please help! Thanks!
Just pour the whole bottle inside. And remember (my final reminder) don't let the equipment touch the silica. Final reminder too, keep paper outside unless you want to end up with a potato chip receipt.
If it is air tight, it will reach RH of 0% is 3-4 days.
So i put the silica gel inside a plastic bag or smaller container and my equipments inside?
Is RH 0% abit extreme and cause my rubber to crack?

i thoguht digital hygrometer are more accurate than analog ones???
r u serious? can reach 0% RH meh?
Thanks alot guys !
Why havent i think of the ingenious idea of pouring the silica gel at the base of the container then separate it with a styrofoam layer! omg.
Thanks once again for helping a noob like me!
Go and get the more precision hygro and you will be able to measure below 10%.
Silica gel is used to make dry flowers you know.
Not referring to the thick styrofoam box but the foam wrapper. All cams will have either the plastic bag or foam or bubble wrapper. Any of these to separate will do fine. Or you have unused soft pouch.
Whether <10% RH will damage a camera. I will let you folks know the result in year 2019. Remind me ah.
lolx. i think if you can get the humidity level to <10% the damage will be quite fast and apparent la. Unless you're putting your camera in a time capsule and can't open until 10 years later.
