I picked up a product called Damp Rid at Walmart the other day. It's in a
small bucket that houses some crystals that seem to disolve - the bucket
catches the water it takes out of the air. I have my equipment in a closet
in an air conditioned house with no moisture issues to speak of. I dumped a
good cup of water out of the damp rid bucket the other day. Anyone else
have any luck or issues with this stuff? It's pretty inexpensive ($3 for
the bucket and its refillable).
That sounds like calcium chloride, also sold as Dry-Z-Air.
Warning: CaCl in solution is extremely corrosive -- DO NOT get this
stuff near your camera gear! There's a reason the holder is plastic
-- I cobbled together one using a stainless steel strainer, and in
less than a year of use, all the non-stainless metal parts (both
steel and aluminum) on the strainer had been eaten away!
