which beads SUCK moisture OUT the fastest?

One question: Since the beads are so fine, is it normal to see them leak through the bag?

I hope to report in a week that these suck the greatest

I try to get all the bead dust out of the beads before I make bags.
It's impossible.
The fallout diminishes over time. Mine have pretty much completely stopped leaking after about 6 months.

Thats good to know, as I have been wondering if they would stop leaking.

Thanks for answering that Scott.

I wish you could see the histrionics I go through to get the dust and smalls out of a batch of beads before I make the bags.
I use a great big stainless kettle and eight or ten 2 gallon rubbermaid bowls.
I wait until it's nice and windy out and pour the beads slowly from over my head into the rubbermaid bowls.
I keep doing it until I'm exhausted.
More than once a neighbor has said "What the hell are you doing???"
It gets a lot of the dust out, but not all of it.
I've often wondered if it was best to suggest that guys disturb the bags less or disturb them more so that it gets over with quicker.

What I can tell you for certain is that it's worn me down to where I don't even see the beads anymore.
