How long for Oxygetn Absorbers to 'work'?

Ok, then I would ask what type do you use, and where do you get them? Thanks

I get these exact ones from this seller. I also browse their other products and get an extra 60-pack of absorbers per order.

My storage solution is to have 6 of these gallon bags in each 5 gallon bucket.
This has worked for: Pinto Beans, Rice, Wheat, Rolled Oats, Quinoa, powdered potatoes, Etc. Have not had a fail to work so far.

I know they may not be the cheapest... but this is what I started with and it worked so I stuck with what worked for me.
I also seal the bags up with a Flat Hair Iron straightener like this one:

Ok, those are the ones I had good luck with, and am ordering more, thanks. I use an old household iron on about medium, and I have a metal angle thing I can lean the bags up without spilling, and iron them shut using aluminum foil to keep from burning. I have to cut them all opened and redo now. Not that I have that many though.

I bought the hair iron, because it has a digital temp setting. It is 25 bucks and I honestly don't have an iron. I'm Air Force, and utilize the on base dry cleaners LOL!
