Any idea of the optimum temperature for moisture adsorbtion using silica
gel? I'd like to dry out some delicate stuff ( a camera) and I'm guessing a
moderate temperature increase will drive the moisture off more quickly but
it's no use if the silica gel I'm packing around it fails to take it up.

the hotter the faster

That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to get into the zone where it
ceases adsorbing and starts releasing. I'm unlikely to want to take the
camera above 50deg C.

I've got a few packs dried out ready to start tonight.
