I've had some problems with QHY9M dewing mainly due to accidentally unscrewing the front glass due to tight threads and exposing the inners the the outside air. What I do is get a very large thick clear zip lock bag and put the camera inside along with the front glass and a fresh 500g bag of desiccant. Zip it up and leave it for 48 hours to absorb all the moisture. Then I carefully screw the front glass on whilst it is still inside the bag. It always works. The desiccant can be easily found on Ebay like this one..

To refresh it simply put it in the oven at 120C for about 2-3 hours and put it in the bag whilst still warm.
Cheers
Stephen
