We have bought some at a craft store called Michaels for drying flowers. Fairly pricey for the little bit you would need though. Some cat litter is 100% desiccant also. Its been said there is desiccant packed in every shipping crate that has a motorcycle in it which gets thrown away when the bike gets put together. Could be free for the asking if you are in with any dealers. Just so its silica based not clay based and it should work. Don't know if these help but I tried.

I did a quick search and found this..

I was able to gather some from new electronic equipment also as it is included in the shipping box.

 

Try some gun shops as they might sell it also or have some to get rid of as it might be included in gun boxes also. Just a thought.

 

Good luck..

Have not dealt with them so I don't know about there sales or service.

 

They sell bulk silica gel. Also search amazon for "bulk silica gel" or "bulk desiccants".

Some truck shops or truck parts suppliers for transport trucks may still have replacement desiccant cartridges for the old Bendix AD-2 air dryer used to remove moisture from the truck air brake systems. Open up one of these cartridges and you should have enough to do a few dozen of our little air dryers.
