Desiccant Packets

[Bird]

Does anyone know of any retail stores that stock the little desiccant packets that you find packed with new electronics and such? I've been to Office Max, Pack 'N Mail, Walmart, and Outdoor World (BassPro). BassPro has really big ones to go in gun safes up to 13 cubic feet in capacity, but I'd like to buy 20-25 small ones and can only find them on the Internet in large quantities.

No. But you can make your own with silica gel. They sell that at craft stores for drying flowers.

Thanks, that's something I never thought about, but we have a Hobby Lobby nearby.

That's even better, Dan, thank you. I've not bought anything from McMaster-Carr before, but I just placed an order.

Bird thumb through their catalog for a while and you will throw away the sears catalog or out it in the outhouse.

When people tell me they have never heard of McMaster-Carr and ask me what it is, I tell them:

"You know those places that sell everything except the kitchen sink? Well, they sell that, too!"

Proof: McMaster-Carr

We've placed thousands of orders from work with mcmaster and if your order is in by 10am it will be here the next day ups ground, like clockwork.
