I'd go with what IE said, Silica rope?

 

[BShanahan14rulz]

yeah, silica rope!

Cool how the same thing can just be shaped differently and used for different things. Uses silica gel crystals. They say you can bake saturated silica and bring it back to its original desiccating performance. Probably won't be trying that with the litter....

Anybody know if the rope is a desiccant too?

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Awesome I only guessed silica because of the previous silica bead :shhh:

Not sure if it is also a dessicant (probably not). Is it the same stuff vapers use?

Silica gel is highly moisture-absorbent, and commonly used in various packaging applications. The stuff I had was pretty old, and so needed reactivating by baking in an improvised oven at about 100 deg.C for 24 hours. This turned it from milky pink to a deep blue colour.
