Naz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yes, gently heat them in oven or on a radiator. Totally reusable many times over.Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutrino Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i have a few bags of silica gel that has been in damp conditions so is a bit 'bloated'...Q - can I dry it out in a low oven and reuse?At work we put the gel in a dish and leave in an oven at 102 degrees overnight. A shorter length of time should also dry completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizibilder Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 We used to bung it in a vacuum oven at 80 dec C overnight. When I used to work late in the lab at night!! (Many years ago now!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
