I was searching the web for "regenerating desiccant" and came =
across
this product: <a =
href="http://www.zorb-it.com">http://www.zorb-it.com</a><br>
<br>
Has anyone used it? I'm going to order some for protecting the tools in =
my
trunk.<br>
<br>
With respect to regenerating the desiccant you find in pianos, I've =
heard you
can microwave it to regenerate it. Anyone know if this works? The =
drierite.com
web site has instructions for doing it in a conventional oven, but I =
didn't see
any instructions for the kind in the paper bags. Anyone know?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
