I was recently flipping through the photos of my family and I found that some of the photos were wet and were stuck to the thin layer of plastic around them. I was little unhappy about that, however, with great effort, I pulled out the plastic layer and then inserted some silica gels. Now my photos are dry and whenever I turn the album ,it brings the wave of gentle happiness in my heart.
