Hi all,
Do you have any ill effects from using Thirsty Hippo type desiccants in dry cabi? eg corrosion on camera or archived DVD+Rs?? I am currently using one inside my mini vacuum storage box for my digital camera for 4 months now. so far so good.
I read that these types of desiccants can bring RH down to 5% compared to silica gels 40%. Bad thing is that it is based on Calcium-Oxide, which is a bit alkaline.
