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.

Precisely! Or something very similar, just in a smaller package. Maybe a battery electrolyte tester?

Damn George, you use alot of this stuff, or what?

Thanks for the suggestion.
