how long to heat the desiccant packs?

Hi,

I have some of those desiccant silica gel packs that I put in UW housing. They have turned pink, I remember I used to heat them in microwave to reuse them. how long do they need to be heated?

thanks,

Jason

Get a container of Damp Rid from Home Depot or Ace Hardware and put it in a large Zip Loc bag and place the gel packs or Moisture Munchers into the Damp Rid container. The large plastic Zip Loc is to keep the Damp Rid isolated, keep it always in the bag. Only open it to R&R your gel packs. Should last several years.
