Full Version: Rice drys off wet electronics
Nice find, Charles. Thanks man. 
Good tip. Rice in salt, black pepper, chili powder, et al. will help to keep things nice and non lumpy. Thanks for the reminder, Snuffy.

A good find-thanks.
I lost a remote for a TV with water damage, I wish I'd known of this then, good stuff.....thx
BTW, a similar plan is how to cook carp ... a nice soft pine board, put carp on same, then salt, and pepper, put on desired spices/lemon slices on top of fish, put it all in the oven at 350 degrees F/, take out plank, and fish after about 30 minutes ... toss fish far away, and eat great board! Old set-up from a furry uncle.
Good to know Snuffy...thanks!! 
LOL. Thanks for the laugh, Df. Must have been a beaver joke, yes? LOL.
I use rice in my tumbler for cleaning brass when I'm reloading ammo.
Better process to save wet electronics:
dunk them in pure alcohol- rubbing alcohol will do in a pinch
get as much of the liquid as possible out. Change the alcohol. Dunk again. Rinse, lather, repeat. (You're flushing out any salts and such that the rainwater may have taken into the circuits)
shake out all the water you can- put the device on a cookie sheet in the oven at 150F. "Cook" for 2-3 hours.
