where the hell do you buy desiccant??
i just drove to three different places earlier; Walmart, Home Hardware and then Home Depot .. none of these places sell any. not only that, they didn't even have any idea what i was talking about.
i went to each place, then in the paint/chemicals section i would ask "do you sell desiccant?" which would instantly produce blank looks, and they'd ask me to repeat what i just said. then i would explain "it's a chemical that removes moisture from the air" at which point i would get more blank looks .. so i followed that up with "we have a damp basement that we need to dry out before painting it" of course after all that they would just suggest "oh i would get a dehumidifier for that"
ok is this stuff really hard to get or am i just an idiot? i was SURE one of those places would have it, but no luck. can someone suggest a specific store that would definately carry it?

You can go to the pharmacy section at Walgreens, Kmart, Walmart, etc, and buy a big box of epsom salts for dirt cheap. Epsom salts work great as a dessicant, and it's reuseable. Just dry in an oven when saturated.

Check it out you can go to any grocer and pick up cat litter that is made of silica sand. It is made of clear beads(silica Sand) this is dessicant. Cost is about $10 for 5lb.

Fuck dessicant. Buy a cheap dehydrator and you can dehydrate cheap bannanas or whatever when they go on sale. They are compact and do a kick ass job w/out having to stick crap in the oven or deal w/nasty chemicals at all! Probably stocked at your average wallyworld or local hardware store...

If ya want a dehydrator, look at thrift stores and yard sales. I got mine for two dollars.

i find that fan drying for a few days eliminate the need for dessicant, i dont even use it. if you put your shrooms strait into the dessicant chamber they will most likely rot.
