<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1039074, member: 66"]Best choice would be to put a smaller silica gel pack inside the ziplock. The 40 gram pack will be trying to dry out the air inside the SDB, but since that air keeps changing the pack needs to be recharged frequently (And it doesn't do anything for the humidity inside the ziplock.). Inside the ziplock you have what is called a micro-environment that has a much smaller amount of air and moisture which the smaller gel pack can easily take care of, and since the outside air can't get into the micro-environment the pack holds onto the moisture and can go a LONG LONG time before it needs to be changed. As leadfoot said, probably years if you don't open the ziplock. If everything in the box are inside of ziplocks, each with a small silica gel pack or two inside, it would probably work better than having several large contained inside the box itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
