About a year ago three was a thread here about how to dry out a
camera, or maybe it was a cellphone, that had been underwater.

Rather than take it apart, someone had sealed it in a

plastic bag

with some other material or substance and let it sit for several days.

I can't remember what the other material was, and googling the
keywords I could thinik of didn't find it.

Any suggestion of the keywords used, or of what to use to dry the
camera.

If I'd known I would need this, I woudl have saved it!! Thanks.



rice is the lore. But the oven works faster.

I have a really neat feature on my Whirlpool oven that is for raising
dough. Once set, it runs the convection fan and holds the temperature
at 100 degree F. Besides dough, it's great for drying out things and
also, fast defrosting of meat or anything, without edge cooking, like in
the microwave.
