Gotta make sure Moonraker stays nice an dry there in Seattle, eh, Ron ;-)


Normally, I just turn it upside down and shake it a bit. :-)

This product works very well, but I won't let it near my plane. I had one
of the Dri-Z-air units in my shop, sitting on my table saw. Must have
bumped it a bit and spilled either the water in it or the crystals. Ended
up with the nastiest patch of corrosion I have ever had.


My hangar mate used it, but it was a fiberglass airplane. He left it out on the
hangar floor once, and I accidentally kicked it and spilled some of the crystals
onto the concrete. The area looked like a puddle for months....

I certainly wouldn't want to place it directly on the airplane floor...
something like a cake tin underneath, I think. But I think it was what the OP
was referring to.
