Hi,

We have some smoky-smelling collections and have purchased zeolite at a pet-supply store to absorb the odors.  If anyone has used zeolite in this form before, how did you determine how much to use?  It comes in large containers, but we'll need to divide that into smaller amounts to put in record boxes.  I know that zeolite paper is available from conservation suppliers, but the pet store zeolite is what I  currently have to work with.

Also, any idea how to know when the zeolite has been used up?  Is there a way to refresh it so it can be reused?

Thanks!
Corinne
