DRY-ALL® for gun safes is a product that keeps gun safes and personal safes dry and free of damaging moisture. Most people don''t know that safes create their own atmosphere. Condensation occurs with the heating and cooling of the day, even if your safe is in a climate controlled area. That is why a safe dehumidifier is essential to keep your valuables safe from moisture. DRY-ALL is easy to use and reusable so one jar can last for years and years.
DRY-ALL is a mixture of indicating blue beads & stationary white beads. When all of the beads have turned white/tan its time to reactivate your DRY-ALL and its ready to use again! The reactivation is easy, and when it is done the blue beads that disappeared come back letting you know it is ready to work again.
Inventor: Major Edward J. Hawkins
Originally invented by Major Edward J. Hawkins a United States veteran WWII. HPL LLC is now run by Major Edward J. Hawkins grandson Sean. He was determined to keep his grandfathers product alive after he passed away and has succeeded in doing so with DRY-ALL products. Sean is a new Dad he loves playing with his 6 month old son and two dogs. We are excited to make DRY-ALL a household name and continue to get our grandfathers product out there to help people.
Our product is reusable so it can last for years and years. We have some jars in our safe that have been in use since the 70's. Which is crazy because the bottles are actually older than Sean and I.
This ingenious design lets you hold the infant while feeding, while allowing you to do other things, like answering the phone, reading a book or caring for another child!
“Made In the USA!” Each bib is made with soft 100% cotton flannel with non-allergenic polyester material filler. A Velcro® closure makes it a snap to put on or remove from sleeping babies. Forget about propped up bottles sliding around; there's a elastic strap built in to hold both regular and wide bottles in place securely while you carry baby around the house, or on the go.
The Multi-Purpose Bib, Hands Free Bottle Holder is a stress reliever. I was a mother for the first time and my husband and I were dealing with all that comes with learning how to be parents. I knew my life changed for the better, but I was definitely not prepared for all the challenges that were to come my way. One of those challenges was how to bottle feed my son Brennan, satisfying him while trying to maintain the rest of the household. We tried everything, the rolled up towel trick that all parents and grandparents tried, DIDN’T WORK! That’s when the ideas started to become realities. We needed something that would allow us to bond with our baby while we fed him, but would also allow us to have a free hand to do a little multi-tasking. That is how the Multi-Purpose Bib, The Hands Free Bottle Holder came to be!
Inventor(s): Virginia and Ken Krolczyk
Virginia and Ken Krolczyk are the inventors of the Multi-Purpose Bib, Hands Free Bottle Holder. A little over ten years ago when our son was born, was the start of something special. Now the proud parents of three, Brennan our son is now almost 11, Alena, our first daughter is 8 and Viveca is now 4. Virginia is a high school guidance counselor and Ken is an insuarance agent, both in the Metro-Detroit area. They have been married for 13 years and are enjoying being able to share thier Multi-Purpose Bib with the rest of the world!
We enjoy many activities. Most of which include our children. From sports to reading a book or spending time in the wonderful outdoors that Michigan has to offer. We just love it!

Eileen. Eileen. Eileen. You just go ahead and keep rolling that blanket up and tell me how many times you have to pick the bottle up for the crying baby because it dropped on the floor. So quick to criticize yet you have no idea how wonderful this … more product is. Don't be so close minded and be willing to eliminate some of the stress in your life. Don't knock it til you try it!!!

This product helped me to eat at a restaurant with my child while still feeding him. How many times does your baby want a bottle right when your food arrives? Also for shopping, baby has a bottle while you are strolling. No more bending over the … more stroller with one hand while trying to steer the stroller! AWESOME!

I am using this product now. Great stuff for Gun collections, coin collections and important papers etc. The coins do not tarnish, the guns don't rust or loose their bluing. Old family papers don't turn brown and brittle. Been using it for almost three … more years. In my big wall safe.

Dry-All for Gun safes is a must for any person with weapons. The best thing about it is that it never goes bad, all we have to do is put it in the oven to reactiviate. We never have to buy more.
