I did not say you are quoting him to buy the tupperware..
I simply advised him to get a better built drybox..and not saying he should pay alot of money or anything like that..

if you have any problem with that, air it out elsewhere..

I shan't be posting in this thread anymore..

I wouldn't get a air-tight box over a dry box, because the air-tight box is not likely to come with a hygrometer to measure the humdity.

The Am-Pro drybox, the one at $19.90 comes with a hygrometer and is quite large compared to a Nikon yellow dry box.

Silica Gel is sold at $4 per 500g bottle at Carrefour, though I managed to find out it is sold at $3 at Konata.

Been using it for over a month. No bad, Poured a handful of Silica Gel into the box at first and saw the humdity drop from 80% to 20%, too low.

But after a few days it rose to 40-50%. and I pour in a few more new Silica Gels, when the needle went over to the RED zone.

Try to get a dish or shallow container to "hold" the silica gel, or else the silica gel will be rolling all over the base of the box.

I think if you don't open and close the box every day, a bottle of Silica Gel will last estimated about 2 months or more? (Mine is still 75% full)

I think might be using a dry box + silica gel for a year or so, before I can save up for a dry cabinet.

I was told the Silica Gel can be re-used by heating up the "pink" silica gels to dry them up again.
Is it true? Will it turn back to blue again, if I heat them up?
 

if u are really tight on budget, i saw a used drybox at cash convertors toa payoh. $5.

They also selling some silica gel..

Check if the box is good. If yes, its very good for the tight-budgetted ones..
 

anyone know how much are the Nikon yellow dry box ?
