Silica bags that have turned pink are no longer useful in this condition. The pink color indicates that the silica has completely absorbed moisture and can no longer absorb any more. To return them to a useful condition, you must remove the gel from their container and heat them in an oven until the gel turns blue, again. Then you can reuse it to absorb more moisture. Moisture, in close proximity to your jewelry, is not what corrodes it. It is the oxygen present in the air that corrodes your jewelry.. The best way to prevent this is to put your jewelry in an air-proof bag, like a food saver bag used to preserve food, and vacuum seal all the air out of the bag. When the oxygen in the air is totally removed, corrosion will stop.

1. I've been saving silica gel packets for a long, long time. I have a mesh bag full of them hanging in my gun safe. That's one place I really don't want excess moisture. If I get a packet that says moisture absorber, desiccant or anything else, but it doesn't say silica gel on it, I throw it away. I only keep the silica gel. 2. I throw banana peels, egg shells and all my other garbage, except meat and dairy, in my compost bin. My trash goes out to the curb every week but not my garbage. There IS a difference between them. When I had a dog, the dog poop went in the trash too. Even though I've gone several years without using any compost, the bin never fills up. And most weeks I only have one bag of trash to throw away, so I save money on trash bags whether I use the compost or not.
@jameskoralewski10063 жыл бұрын
The silica gel packs can only gather moisture for a finite time until they completely fill with water. Then leaving them in your gun safe is doing absolutely no good. You must remove the silica gel crystals from their containers and dry them in an oven until they turn from a pink color back to a blue color. Then you can reuse them to collect more moisture.

Of all the fruits in the entire planet, the humble and ordinary banana is my number 1 favorite. Coming from an ordinary, poor family, we had banana and papaya as our fruits all the year round, being handy as my father planted them all around our nipa and bamboo home together with moringa trees. Having been used to its taste, I learned to love them. When I left my country to work and practice my profession, I began to venture tasting other fruits and found them agreeable to my taste too but one incident at work left my dominant arm incapable of doing simple ordinary household chores. Living alone and on my own abroad, this led me to make smoothie instead of having some home-cooked stir-fry vegetables. I survived on my banana-honey-peanut butter-almond milk smoothie. From then on my favoritism towards banana had been concreted. Another thing: for me this is the most "sanitary" fruit. As long as the peel is still whole and not damaged, open or cut, even if transported to wherever it may go, it's still "sterile" inside and one can eat it without contaminating the fruit by touching it with one's fingers. Thank you, Lord for this sweet-smelling and sweet-tasting humble banana!

This was the best Fact Verse installment yet! I am going to start with the the banana peels tomorrow, (only cause I know I tossed a few out yesterday morning), and then I am heading over to Jerry's to pick up an aloe vera plant. I already do save my silicon packets and I have another use for them. I am a watch wearer and a bit of a collector. I have a collection of my favorites which I have acquired over many years. Since I prefer wound and self-winding as opposed to battery operated I have a "winding box" that displays all of my windable ones. One of the few consistent issues there is with watches is the negative effects which moisture has on them. Everyone I know who has a collection has lamented as to how "water got in" and a prized item was ruined, in some cases beyond repair. Except (thankfully) me. The only reason I have not had an issue is because of those silly packets. My winding box as well as every individually boxed watch I have has at least one of those wonderful silicone packets in it. If I am storing anything from shoes to suits to larger items around the house (grandmom's dinner table she left you or even better some rugs you roll up for examples) including a few of those bags before you put all items away will give you a little more piece of mind and, unless ingested or set ablaze, can not hurt to include in one's storage. Use them often with everything you have. The worst thing that might happen is when you reach into a pocket of a jacket you were properly storing you will find a wee guard in the form of the packet of silicone who has been keeping watch over your goods while you were out.

You can get silica gel in reusable containers. They come in metal round containers that have perforations that can be exposed or closed. The purpose of silica gel is to absorb water or moisture or humidity. When they fill with water they turn pink. Then you put them in an oven for a little while and they turn blue, ready to absorb again. I use to put camera lenses and bodies in vacuum sealed bags with each bag containing one silica container. This would protect the camera"s and lenses from mildew deterioration.

Silica packets in general contain silicon dioxide, which isn't toxic. It's chemically inert when ingested in this form and the reason the bags say DO NOT EAT is because people choke on them.

The indicating colors vary in toxicity, but you should be careful around those.

Egg shells has calcium, but not bio-available. You need to first chelate it to use as a fertilizer - otherwise it is a soil additive that would need some essential soil bacteria to produce sulfuric acid to slowly decompose and become bio-available. Egg shell calcium can be chelated using vinegar - but needs to be properly diluted before use. It is very helpful for plants like tomatoes, but otherwise no need to supplement with Ca for all plants.

I keep all of my silica bags in a zip lock sandwich bag for when i need them.. I always knew about the banana peels for fertilizer. My mom and grandmother always used, banana peels, coffee grinds, and egg shells to give nutrients to their gardens . I just wish there was a measurement for the epsom salt.. VERY informative video

"Silica gel." Not "silica." The "gel" is not optional. Silica is a different thing.

Silica gel is not toxic but some silica gel is treated with cobalt(II) chloride as a moisture indicator. Blue granules are "dry" and they turn pink when hydrated. That is why it says "do not eat" on the little sachet.

I remember my old car getting flooded and I was able to buy huge bags of silica gel desiccants for very cheap. They were like 3-4 lbs each! Sadly there was just too much water, but those bags were heavier than when I put them in!

Yup, yup. Careful trimming will have her bush out heavily in all directions. I had a mother that took up 4ft x 4ft of space. The babies were strong because of the nutrients I gave her. I used banana for the most part but came across some cotton candy. Turned out like banana cotton candy in the end.

Maybe you can use them instead of deodorant. But then again I'm not sure how they would stay under your armpits. Maybe using maxipads stuck to a snug fitting shirt. However then you can just use the maxipads you won't need the gel packs. You can save those for like flavoring soup or something

These silica bags will have no effect unless they are first dehydrated in an oven and then placed in a sealed container with the object that you want to keep dry.

Before you reuse a silica bag. Heat them in an oven at 150-200 degrees for about 30 minutes to drive out any moisture they're already holding. After heating them put them in a jar and put a lid on it to keep them dry until you want to use them.

Silica gel use: put in tool boxes. When working in the SE U.S., we got some very expensive telco equipment that had silica gel packs the size of about 2 decks of cards in their packing. With the high humidity in the SE, I started saving the packs and put them in my tool boxes to keep rust to a minimum. Seem to really work, still have them.-fyi

Silica bags do not last very long before they fill with water. Once filled, they are useless unless you remove them from their bag and heat them in an oven to remove the water or moisture. The bagged silica is not intended for long or multiple uses. They are meant to be thrown away after the protected product is removed.

This video is missing a few important facts. Silica gel absorbs moisture and odors. However, it is likely used up by the time it gets to you from China. It must be recharged to be useful. The bags don't normally withstand being recharged in an oven (I've tried). They can be recharged under vacuum with a commercial vacuum machine. Or you make your own heat resistant container. You can buy the color changing silica gel for drying your phone.

It depends on where the gym bag is. In a swimming pool, yes you need a lot of packs. But if you are using your gum bag in the desert you will probably need less
