    If you have in your area a store that deals in firearms and the
    safes used for them, then that store will also have silica-gel in
    blocks about the same size as the magnesia block used for soldering
    on. These can be heated in an oven when they change color indicating
    that the block has absorbed all of the moisture in can. Then the
    blocks can be used over and over. I do imagine that silica has  a
    reusable no, but don't know what it is. I keep on in my safe.
