If you know someone who works in a welding or fabrication workshop, ask them if they can let you have or purchase the large Silica Gel bags that are packed in with welding rods, they are normally just dumped. When you get them, stick them in an oven for a few minutes on a low heat, this is to dry them out before you use them. make sure you don't overheat them! You can make small bags from some thin, clean linen type cloth material, or use sections cut from a nylon stocking and tied with thread.
