Q: My product lost its vacuum seal, is it bad or full of moisture?
A: No, not at all, we package all filament with desiccant to keep surrounding air within the bag dry, this translates to a dry plastic filament product while still within its original package despite a small puncture. In addition we package all premium carbon fiber products with double desiccant and a ultra sensitive (reusable) humidity indicator card.
