Re: [APML] Cheap Dessicant to store film with

[steve banbury <banburys@sonic.net>]

Hi Jason--as Kent said, there's more to hypering than just getting the 
water out--and getting the water out can be accomplished better using a 
cheap pump--hand operated ones are available from Lumicon. I use a 
recycled refrigerator pump purchased dirt cheap.

I don't store my hypered films with dessicant, but Lumicon usually 
tossed in about five 3 mm diameter silica spheres in the 35 mm film
cannisters they have sold to me in the past.   Another source of 
reusable dessicant with a color indicator for wet/dry is at:

I use one of their cannisters for dry air purge instead of nitrogen 
purging like some of the other folks here on APML.

Steve
