got some silica gel, looks different... help please
    #16199838 - 05/08/12 01:12 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

i went and bought some silica gel for drying from the only store around here that sells it.
now ive always known silica gel to look like small clear balls that turn blue when the indicator is activated, but the silica gel i bought came in a flower drying kit, and looks like a very fine white power...

the brand of drying kit is called "the webster group flower drying kit"
it says it has improved silica gel in it, and also sais its microwavable...

is this safe to use for drying?

edit: powder is over exaggerated... its more like small crystals. almost looks like finely grounded perlite.

considering the toxicity in silica gel, im not willing to risk it.
i mean i dont know the science to it, but growing up it was always "if you eat that packet that comes in your jerky, it'll be your last jerky."

easy way to protect urself from it getting on ur mushies is put it in a coffee filter, tyvek, or something like that
then ties it up so you have a little packet
microwaving it would be to reuse it
one it locks in moisture the microwave would take the moisture out

i greatly appreciate the help guys, but no that picture is far too blurry for me to tell what it looks like.

you know whats weird is the box actually says to put the silica in this little container with your flowers, then pop it in the microwave with the flowers and everything in it....

i obviously wouldnt do that, but its interesting to say the least.
