We've been using this to keep expensive SLR camera equipment storage from being affected by moisture, mould, fungus and all the other wet nasties.. It also works for your clothes and wardrobes.. So when you are ordering Kg's of it the shipping costs is really a bargain..
Can you recharge that stuff?
You mean by throwing it in the oven like normal silica gel? I'm curious, too.
yep, you recharge by going to woolies every 3-6 months and giving them $6

Then it's not the same thing is it? It's like comparing rechargeable batteries to non-rechargeable.
I'd rather pay for something once, even if it's more expensive.
agree, and never said it was the same thing. my first word was 'alternatively'.
Is this a bargain? Or normal price?
I find throwing a few sticks of sodium in also keeps things dry.
I find francium works better

lol… one of the most highly reactive metals…
Is this useful for ppl in NSW?
I kept my old film gears for ages in my cabinet under the staircase and so far not a single fungus on the lens.
And I now keep all my dslr gears in Pelican cases and so far it is all good.
Would love to get input from other ppl in NSW.

No, it only works in Labor states… :S
Our air is the same as any other state…
However if you keep your gear in a sealed pelican case without adequate silica, your just putting it in a fungus box. Take it out, or put some silica in.
Does not appear to be a bargain. Eg. 100 x 10gm sachets $54 + $4.95 shipping = $58.95. 2 x eBay auction 220850659318 = approx $32.
alternatively use a thirsty hippo from coles/woolies:
