So I have two half used containers of DPD powder. They both became hard before I used them up. It's not the cheapest thing, and the forum suggests that the material can be crushed up and should still work. The question is, how could it be extracted and crushed? Maybe using a drill? Or cutting the plastic container apart and crush it in a ziploc bag? It's too hard to just pulverize with the little spoon thing they give you.

Anyway that works. It does not need to be powder. It can be hard chips.
Chip it up from the middle using a small screwdriver blade or pointed tool. Any hard metal tool that fits in the container.

Neither is a swamp if you believe your FC is great and its not.
I get the pinching pennies. I do. But this one isnt worth it IMO.
Either way, I keep my jar in a small (4 oz?) Tupperware container with 4 desiccant packs, along with the one inside it, and its going strong a year later. It didnt take long to find a couple in new purchases and I replace one when I find a new one. Shoes and vitamins often have them.
