Silly packaging question

[fogman]

In my beautiful EBMM case, there were 2 packs of Uline-Desiccant which I'm guessing helps stabilize the humidity during shipping.
Does anyone know if they're worth keeping a little longer? or should I just pitch them?

I think you should frame them.

Or maybe offer them on Ebay as a token for all of us who have witnessed this monumentous occassion....

Just don't eat them

Hey buddy...

We generally leave em' in the case til the guitar sell's, and toss it before the customer leaves.

Foggy I leave mine in during the Spring, Summer and Fall and take them out during the winter months. My house is warm and dry during the winter and low humidity. The rest of the year, watch out, summer can be brutal.

Do they really last that long?

 

[GWDavis28]

They seem to, not really sure to be honest. I'm sure tonight there will be a flood of post on this subject.

List them on EBay as "Genuine Fender Case Candy"........some mug will give you $10

Not a silly question at all I have wondered myself ... there still in most of my cases. but I don't know if they are doing me any good.

Fogman thats EBMM candy so enjoy! Actually the ability for it to absorb moisture depends on how old and how much moisture it has had to absorb, after awhile it just stops absorbing.

In view of the fact that many posters are from the USA and prone to sue, we have been asked to point out that the phrase "Case Candy" does NOT mean you can eat this stuff.

 

[fogman]

But mine smells like strawberries!!

Foggy, they're considered an aphrodisiac in some countries... Spanish silica gel

I leave them in the case, they haven't hurt anything yet... at least in my climate.

what if Foggy keeps his guitar in a stand?

what if Foggy keeps his guitar in a stand?

Then the inside of the case will be nice and dry.

If he leaves that Silica Gel out in the open air, Ontario will become a desert by 2013.
