I salvaged seceral large (2 pound) bags of desicant that was in some industrial equipment I installed years ago. I keep 1 in each of my 2 large safes, which I keep in my air conditioned home. I recharge them about once every year or two and can't measure the difference in weight after any water is evaporated out of it.

I have a friend that used damprid for the same purpose and found out the hard way that it is very corrosive when some spilled on the bottom of his overcrowded safe and he ended up with several heavily pitted buttplates and muzzles.
