By that i mean taking it out and drying it in an oven or some other hot space? Chem labs use desiccant to draw the moisture out of samples and it turns from blue to pink when it has absorbed moisture. You can then put the desiccant in an oven to dry it out and re-use the crystals.

I don’t bother recharging or drying out the crystals kitty litter is cheap I just throw it out. And this method does seem to help stop cracking by drying the wood evenly all over provided it is totally submerged in the crystals. There is a video out there somewhere of carl Jacobson doing the same thing in rice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
