Where to buy Silica Beads locally?

[wojo]

I purchased an ozonizer and i need to build/buy air dryer for it. If you know where to purchase the Silica Beads locally or if you have some for sale let me know.

Thanks.

You can get a 2 Kg bag of them for about $14 at Hobby Lobby.

ppurcell, thank you. do you know if they will change colors when consume humidity and they they can be recharged by baking?

thanks

yes, and yes.

There are blue dyed beads mixed in that will change to pink after they absorb water. You can dry the beads by baking them in the oven.
