  Hi Kat!

  Yep, they can be baked...I bake mine at 125° C for four hours. Also, we
have two of those McDry self-regenerating dry dessicant cabinets, and the
regeneration cycle the cabinets use is once every 6-hours, the controller
will heat the Zeolite dessicant to 150° C for 45-minutes, then cool it back
down for 25-minutes. It does that every day and we've had the cabinets for
about two years. The humidity levels inside the cabinets have stayed
consistently below 5% RH for as long as we've had them.

    Can desiccant bags be baked or microwaved to remove the accumulated
moisture? I used to know of a recipe to microwave desiccant bags to drive
the moisture off but can't remember what it was.  Although it has been some
years now so I wonder if it is still possible.

    TIA
    Kat
