[pure-silver] Re: keeping negatives dry and safe on the gulf coast

Army surplus stores used to have large packets (about 2 cups worth) of silica for under a dollar each. 
I'm not sure what the military uses them for.
You just heat them in a warm oven for a few hours to dry them out (recharge them) they have instructions on the label on how to do it.

Where can you get silica gel?

Buy stereo equipment or computer equipment from a store with a liberal return policy. Take the merchandise home, remove the silica gel packet, return everything else for a refund! 
(Sorry, that's my strange sense of humor, enhanced by beer!)
Seriously, try companies that sell shipping supplies. One example is www.uline.com , however they sell large quantities, and it will cost you at least $100-- you soak up a lot of moisture at that price!
