Resetting the Diffusion Dryer Beads

1. Unscrew the side with the plastic chamber connected to it. In order to do this, place the dryer into the vise grip with the plastic end at an angle on the bottom. Use two sheets of cardboard in the vise grip in order to protect the dryer. Once the side is loosened, tip upright to prevent beads from falling down the center tube.

2. Pour the beads into mason jars using funnels. Make sure to place your thumb on the bottom to keep any beads that fall down the center from falling out the bottom.

3. Put 1/2 a jar into the white bowl using a funnel.

4. Microwave in the white bowl for 5 min.

5. Pour the beads back into the jar using a pair of gloves. (CAUTION: the bowl is extremely hot)

6. Close the lid of the mason jar to minimize the moisture that is absorbed by the beads

7. Repeat steps 3-5 For the rest of the beads

8. When the last bowl is taken out of the microwave, place the dryer tube upright in the vise grip

9. Slowly pour the beads from the bowl and jar into the tube using a funnel. Make sure to evenly distribute the beads around the tube.

10. Once all the beads are placed in the tube, replace the lid and screw on by hand.

11. Check to see if the ends of the tube are 90 degrees to each other. If not, place the dryer in the vise grip and continue to tighten.
