I used cheap little white organza pouches to hang these beads in various areas - this way they're not an eye-sore like most dehumidifying products; they're actually cute especially hanging from the curtains which is why I chose the blue-to-pink instead of the orange-to-green. I also used them inside Ziploc vacuum space bags and at the back of dresser drawers instead of the more-expensive cedar balls I had previously been using. Also tossed 4-5 of the little organza bags underneath the beds where I usually spend $30-$40 on Damp-Rid products every other month.
The re-usability of these beads (with an electric oven - not a gas oven) is awesome.
Definitely getting a few more cans of this since I have to put them in sealed storage containers to go in an outside closet. I live in a coastal area where the high humidity is a constant enemy of books, notebooks, file cabinets and other important papers or paper-based products.
Summary – Bulk silica is a great idea if you ask me. Instead of buying various size packages of silica, I can now save a ton of money and make my own various sized bags. I use silica all the time for storing electronics, hard drives, guns and in my safe. What I love about this item is how they contain cobalt chloride which allows them to change from blue to pink indicating they need to be replaced. (These absorb 40% of their weight in water.)
When I used a free online silica gel calculator, it shows I would need 238grams for a one cubic foot area. I then convert that to ounces and fill my back using a scale to the desired amount.
In terms of the bags, after researching I found organza bags are the best. You can get about 100 on Amazon for really cheap.
Lastly, these should last a very long time as they can be reused again and again. You can do either of the two methods below to restore them when they are pink.
1.) Bake in a convection oven for 2—3 hours at 200 to 240 degrees. Do not exceed 250 degrees F.
2.) Microwave on LOW power for 30 seconds to two minutes.
Taking away 1 star for the poor container idea. With an item as sensitive to moisture as this, a paint can design with a metal rim is a bad idea. You need to pry the lid off and bang the lid on which will certainly leave a good chance you will have an air opening. They should come in some form of a plastic container with a screw on rubber sealed lid. I would have paid more for this same product in that type of container. At least I can move these into another airtight container to store.
Note – These are 2—5mm and not 3-5mm as per the listing description.

The color indicator makes it easy to see what condition my storage cabinet is in, and when I need to dry the silica. I dry it in my gas oven at 200F every few weeks, depending on how much I'm handling the filament.
I have one batch of beads that's almost 2 years old, and still working like it's new.
Now that it's been humid/rainy lately, the jar of silica gel beads I keep in my bathroom turns from blue to pink in less than two days. Timing how long it takes for the beads to saturate can also help quantify just how moist a room or space is.
I plan to find more ways to creatively use these around the house.
