For years I confiscated those little bags out of new pianos at the dealer I
worked with.  I keep one or two in each toolbox; and, I've never had a
problem with rust.  On the hottest day of each summer, I put these little
bags on the top of my car for a few hours.  This regimen has worked just
fine for thirty years, so far.

List,

I was searching the web for "regenerating desiccant" and came across this
product: http://www.zorb-it.com

Has anyone used it? I'm going to order some for protecting the tools in my
trunk.

With respect to regenerating the desiccant you find in pianos, I've heard
you can microwave it to regenerate it. Anyone know if this works? The
drierite.com web site has instructions for doing it in a conventional oven,
but I didn't see any instructions for the kind in the paper bags. Anyone
know?

Thanks,

John Formsma
