I was roaming through Coles this morning and noticed bags of "New" cat-litter absorbent crystal, with the labels saying they contained silica gel. This stuff is not the clay or paper stuff normally sold for cat poo use.
The texture of the crystals was very similar to normal silica gel desiccant and colour (bags were transparent) was mix of clear and blue crystals about the size and consistency of rock salt.
Good price; 2Kg for about $5 if I recall. Cheap and also convenient to buy, the convenience being a major factor for me.
I was just wondering if anybody has tried it as a dessicant in scope and EP boxes, etc?
I know there are cupbord and boat dehumidifier products around, but they seem to be of a disposable nature whereas this stuff looks like it would be reusable after heating.
