can you use the bricks in any sealed container other than expensive ones... like a sealable plastic container?

I do not believe so. It requires some type of activation. I think it lies passive until activated with a proper container. I have the electric Drystore Global container.

Hello Victor - The short answer to your question is that you could use the Dry-Brik in the manner that you described. The Dry-Brik is nothing more than a small plastic container filled with desiccant pellets. It actually is NOT a block of desiccant, which you can figure out just by shaking it. The only thing that would worry me is how effective it would be without an active method of circulating the air. The expensive containers you are speaking of use a combination of warm circulating air AND the desiccant to get the levels of effectiveness they advertise. ALSO why would you WANT to pay the high price of Dry-Briks when you can buy desiccant pellets in bulk right here on Amazon. Then you can put them in the microwave and rejuvenate them when they are saturated. Hope this helps.

I think J.R.gave the answer that I understood to be the case. It needs activation with heat and circulating air to be effective. A sealable plastic container would not provide that. Your better option for a sealable plastic container and temporary use is another type of desiccant like the beads in a jar.

I do not have a direct answer but if I froze them I would open them and dump them out in a ice cube tray and freeze them that way. Reason being I am not sure that the plastic container is designed to be frozen? or rated to be frozen. Just my 2 cents maybe some one will chime in their thoughts to help answer your question.

You would probably have to ask the manufacturer but I imagine they stay compressed for longer than that before shipping. They are wrapped in air tight plastic so as long as the seal isn't broken I would think it would be OK.

I gave the sand and the box to my husband at Christmas. He's put a plastic top on it but I'm sure it wasn't necessary. It's not air tight and the sand is just like new. Hope you enjoy it.

I have never tried but I don't think you are suppose to. It is filled with beads. I'm assuming plastic beads.

That's a good question. I would contact Lego and see what they say. Let me know. Thanks.

No I bought the water bricks for cheap, and two packages did the job, I also want to tell you that you can hold the cover in place with empty chemical buckets fill them with water or sand and place around cover, another cheap way to go is buying 12 to 15 cement blocks to hold the cover in place I do not buy water bags they are expensive and don't last.

Yes you can. However, the way the lid fits, I put some plastic wrap over-the-top as well, to seal in more of the aroma.

I put a few bricks in the bottom stand. you can also fill the bottom with sand or water (like an umbrella.) I am not sure, but mine came with something you could pound or screen in. I use mine indoors. good luck!

It's best to seal them in an airtight plastic bag. I also add silicon packs to the box. So far, everything has remained dry and it's been over a year.

I would not say that the product makes the bricks look better/newer, but it appears to do what is intended to do and that is to seal them from weather conditions. Perhaps a glossier finish product would accomplish what you want, but be careful since that could result in a slipping accident.

Yes! I used them after we did the chocolate bricks for jello and it worked fine. Just let the jello cool a bit so it's not boiling hot when you pour it in. But not too long. ..a couple minutes tops.

I guess you could just unmold the balls and put them in ziploc bags or wrap them in waxed paper so they dont stick together while they are still wet from unmolding. After a few hours you can probably just put them in any bin or container

Yes works on bricks won't hurt plants. Spray on in jet stream mode in the area you need to have the rust removed. Wait 45 sec then rinse off. If you have sealed the brick it will eat through the sealant so be mindfully won't hurt plants or grass. We are landscape architects and we buy it by the 5 gal buckets.

With Amazon's typical fast shipping times and the time of year, there should be no issues of spoilage. I have sent bricks from Oregon to New England with good results. Guy

I don't see why not- I imagine you'd want to seal it though since there is some real wood inside the plastic.

The material is certainly flexible enough to roll. I don't think it'll take away its function since water will still be contained. However you'll need to find a way to "secure" the rolled portion so it'll stay put. Maybe get 2-3 bricks from your home improvement stores. Will cost you less than $2.
