Dessicant

Oreol

Can any body tell me where to buy small packets of dessicant? I want to put them in my PCGS blue boxes to keep moisture at a minimum while storing my coins. Would appreciate any help that you could give me.

I got these small, rechargeable dessicant jars at The Container Store.

Probably office suppy stores either carry them or can order them.

Be sure not to let these stay in a container with coins when they are saturated.

Caution. Some desiccants contain sulfur compounds.

I buy them here.

I bought a big can of silica gel from Michaels, a hobby and craft store. Don't know if you have them in your area but they are a big chain. People use this dessicant to dry flowers for dry flower arrangements. They also had some little decorative bags that I filled to make my own silica paks.

Thanks for the information. Will check Michaels out.

There is also a chain of stores called "Hobby Lobby" they also carry silica gel in various sizes and different containers.

What Russ said.

I use the small aluminum canisters to protect my safety deposit boxes. But if you can get a larger container in your storage ares - go for it. Bigger is better in this case.

I bought extra canisters so that every time I visit the SD boxes, I can swap out the dessicant.
