<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2650977, member: 77639"]Calcium sulfate is very safe. Chances are you're surrounded by it because it's the main ingredient in drywall. The calcium sulfate in drywall is already hydrated (it's gypsum). I don't recommend heating drywall to use as a desiccant. It has binders and organic materials that may decompose, and once heated, will be partially in the form of a fine, white powder that will drift through the air and settle on coins, people, etc. If you've ever cut drywall, you know what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Drierite (calcium sulfate) is still available with or without an indicator. It's in nodule form, but can also be a little dusty. If you use it, pour it into an open container or porous sack away from coins. Then, after the dust has settled, place the container or sack in proximity to the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
