One thing to keep in mind is that at some point the surface area of calcium chloride exposed becomes more important than how much volume/weight of it you have. I've found a big tub of Damprid will eventually form a solid layer at the top. At that point all the bulk dry salt under there is doing you no good. It helps to stir it up / break up the surface scale once in a while, but more important is how much surface area you have exposed - instead of one bucket I do many small containers around the boat, mostly in the cabinets/cupboards which don't have good air flow.
The 4-lb Damprid tubs come with some grayish filler beads in it which are intended to help determine when the tub is used up. They also sell smaller packs without the filler beads, useful if you're subdividing Damprid into multiple containers. It's $10 for the 4-lb tub: http://www.amazon.com/DampRid-FG50T-Hi-Capacity-Moisture-Absorber/dp/B0029EGUNG/ref On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 11:53 AM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Della Barba, Joe" <joe.della.ba...@ssa.gov> > To: "'cnc-list@cnc-list.com'" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Cc: > Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 18:29:14 +0000 > Subject: Re: Stus-List winter condensation > > Note that Damp-Rid is actually calcium chloride.
