Don't try silica gel/bags as it is designed to absorb moisture. Anytime it is exposed to any moisture it tries to retain it. However, after it has fully absorbed all that it can, it allows the moisture it can't, to absorb into the rods. Any small cracks or leaks will saturate the silica beyond its capabilities and it constantly will continue to absorb moisture into your storage can. It acts like a magnet constantly sucking in moisture. I ruined a can of 9018, 11018 trying to do this.
