Where to get Silica Gels packets for use in U/W Casing ?

[wira1]

Hi
I understand its good to put silica gels into U/W housing to prevent fogging or water condensation inside the casing.

Any idea where I can buy more silica gels as the U/W casing package only comes with 3 packets ?

Make your own

1) Get a pack of empty teabags from NTUC/Cold-Storage (Get the good quality kind)

2) Get a bottle of silica gel

3) Fill up the tea-bags with silica gel, fold to top over to close the bag and staple it shut to be extra sure.

Easy Peasy

Never find the need for it.... but you can try your luck at the $2 Japanese Store (sorry, can't remember the name... starts with D) Or like others said.... make your own.

You can recycle those silica gel packets by placing them in a warm oven (176-200 degrees) for 15 minutes. Just collect those come inside the packaging of food, electronics, etc.

Not recommended to use oven, if you are planning to use the oven for food also. It might cause cancer as those blue-pink type can be carcinogenic. Not going into details here, for more info you can google
