I followed the link to confirm... note the heated Desiccant needs to go into a sealed container warm. Amazing to see this stuff sent with so much stuff that isn't sealed. What a waste and a hazard.
73, Bill K9YEQ -----Original Message----- Yep. That's what we do on ships where an outside enclosure experiences huge swings in temperature in a very humid salt air environment. If you are re-using packets, throw them in your oven on WARM for an hour to regenerate them. And you can get new desiccant on line for a few bucks (e.g. http://www.drierite.com/default.htm ) The weep hole approach works FB too for most installations as long as one realizes that teeny-tiny critters will make their home inside so you need to clean it out from time to time. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- If you want to seal it, throw in a handful of Silica Gel packets first. They come packed in everything these days so should you should be able scrounge them for free. That should help prevent condensation.
