Okay, you guyz that have the most experience with this hydrophobic fumed silica need to tell me the best way to transfer the crap from a large container to a small FF bottle?

I see why it comes in a quart bag, as you loose a portion of it just transferring to a large more solid container. I'm afraid to go any further, as my hands are without moisture now and I fear I might be reduced to my basic chemical elements, if I handle the stuff any longer with out some assistance!

Okay, I went with the funnel suggestions and also used a mellon baller to scoop out the white stuff, then dropped beads of desiccant into the applicator bottle.

Not the best method, but it worked well enough.
