The New Hotness

The last of the silica gel from one bulk can went into a mesh bag:

That kept a batch of fresh-baked crackers crisp during several humid days. It started out at 110 g net = 112 g gross (with bag and ties), rose to 115 g after a day, then to 117 g by the time we were done with the crackers. That’s about 5 g of water = 4.5% by weight, so those charts say the humidity should be under 10 %RH, which agrees with the fading blue dot on the humidity indicator card I dropped in the can.

When the bag gets up to 130 g = 30 %RH, then it’ll be time for a recharge… or, more likely, a refill from one of the remaining three cans.
