Hi

Going to Sabah and KL for a two week holiday leaving next weekend.

Reading the threads it seems wise to get some silica gel to put in the camera bag.

Where does one buy this stuff. Spent 30minutes in Bunnings looking but the only stuff they had was more for putting in cupboards and came in larger containers. I really need some stuff in small bags or something I can put in my MiniTrekker.

Any ideas?

We have some at work. I can post you some?

good onya waspo.

i have some also that i was going to offer.

don't get that damprid or moisture eating stuff from bunnings - after a while it breaks down and develops a sticky, viscous coating.

best stuff that i've come across is the larger indicating silica. goes from blue to clear and can be renewed in the oven at ~115 C

You could always buy some when you are then? Just about every camera shop has it.

That's where I got mine - when I was there a few years ago. Take a film canister with some small holes drilled into it as your container to use in the bag.

I'm in Sydney. I am after the same thing, going to thailand and singapore at the end of the month. Just can't seem find any except those you put in your wardrobe. Are they ok to use?

Come to the mini meet and get them, it's free! I used to hand out ton of these small bags to all attendees.

Hey Waspo, I wouldn't mind getting some, any chance?

I'd be willing to drive out for pick-up?

Yeah, no worries! I'll see what I can grab tomorrow and send you a PM.

Thanks mate.

Cheers,

I get mine in small bags from Bunnings... As usual they are fairly unreliable in their supplies and it can differ from store to store.
