Re: Long term camera storage - Drierite

[Tim Mulholland <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding dessicants, I've been using Drierite, which is calcium 
sulfate, not silica gel.  I use it in my film vault, which is located 
in my humid basement, as a way to reduce fungal growth.  I purchased a 
one pound bottle of drierite for about $15, and use about half of it at 
a time.   I regenerate it per Drierite instructions in my oven, 425F 
for 1 hr.
