Bill;
Those bags of silica gel dessicant are great for absorbing moisture. The
bags that are packed in military stuff has indicators that show a blue color
when it is activated and it gradually turns pink as it absorbs moisture. It
can be re-activated by baking in an oven and-- perhaps-- even in a microwave
oven.

Subject: Re: Tool Box Protection( VCI Paper )
The company I work for ships machined and highly polished parts all over the
world and they are package with what's called "VCI Paper". I have used this
to line the drawers of my tool box and never had a problem. We also receive
machines in that are packaged in large crates. Usually the inside of these
crates are scattered with large bags of Silica Desiccant. We usually just
toss them away. Might be good to place something like in the bottom of the
box. Bill
