Yes this could happen if you drill the holes too large. I just stuff the packets into the holder rather than pouring the silica in. The choice is yours. You could also pour it into a piece of ladies stocking then stuff it in... It's really the same system as the bought ones but free.... Oh the purchased ones are alloy and look pretty for sure, but work the same way...

I will give your suggestion ago, and keep one as a back up or for when I need to get more packets for the cap.
