"Eventually it'll swell up (not much though, you can't really tell) and it's good enough to prevent mass damages...better than if I didn't have it down. I wouldn't suggest wringing the water out as the material isn't really sturdy looking enough to withstand a lot of wringing, but what I do do is take it outside, step on it a little and it'll get most of the water out, lay it out in the sun until next floods."
"My only frustration was with the drying-out time, but the temps have still been cool this early in the year, even in direct sunlight (Idaho)."
"Admittedly they are not especially sturdy, but if you are careful when squeezing out water they should work several times, at least."
"Purchase for use during hurricane Ima."
"Good price and delivery works perfectly for what I needed."
"There was a tiny bit of moisture around the tubes, but no standing or flowing water."
"If vendor decides to change material, they need to specify on the item information online."
This is the sustainable option to meltblown polypropylene as it is made from 85 percent recycled polypropylene and is generally more durable then meltblown. This combines the best features found in a laminated pad, (no lint and durable) while reducing the slip problem associated with double sided laminated sorbents. Top layer is made of a dark gray, no lint, durable spunbond polypropylene.

Find Best Price at Amazon"The coiled alligator clip extends to about 4 feet long before it starts to pull the mat with it, meaning that your ground doesn't have to be right next to you. It's soft enough that cases and components sink in a bit and don't slide around, and it rolls back up into a surprisingly small package. I've been using it once a week or so since buying it, and the only way you'd be able to tell is the slight smear from when I had a disagreement with a tube of thermal paste that was sitting on it."
"StarTech Anti-Static Mat worked really well and very affordable."
"Very convenient to use while working on a computer."
"Worked perfectly when I replaced my laptop with a solid state hard drive, upgraded memory and the LAN card."

Best Lab Radiation Protection Supplies
When connected to a PC, software can download the radiation history data to the computer and the user is able to analyze those data later. The USB port communicates with the GQ GMC-300 Soft Geiger Counter software and the GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software. The GQ Geiger Counter Data Viewer software can download the time stamped radiation (history) data from the unit and save it on a computer for future references analysis.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Then I tried placing my smoke detector (which contains americium 241) right on top of it and it jumped to .68 μSv/h and set off the beeping alarm. Detector tube can be replaced when it's useful life has ended which is nice. First impressions of the GQ GMC Data Viewer application on Windows 7... Looks like a dated and hastily thrown together MFC application with few features and low aesthetics. However, If you have knowledge of programming, this is an "open protocol" device and they do provide information on incorporating the GMC-300 USB-serial connection into your code projects. I have to set up the COMM port for its USB to serial interface every time I launch the program even though Windows Device Manager is able to detect and display the correct COMM. I'd be very surprised if the USB to serial API for Windows doesn't have a way to detect COMM port. Even if the API didn't have an easier way, they could still check each Comm port until the unit responds through one of them. Even though the GMC-300 unit itself has an alarm for high level radiological events, the software does not. I installed the demo version of the GQ Geiger Counter Data Logger pro-application which they want an additional $9.99 USD to activate. It is supposed to be a more feature rich version of the GQ GMC Data Viewer application. Please, GQ Electronics, improve the whole package which includes the PC interface. Still, overall a great product but I need a better way to use the data without writing my own program which I don't have the time to do."
"The comments about comparing it to much more expensive radiation detectors helped me decide to make this purchase."
"A must have for every household."
"Hope never have to use it..."
"Works great."
"My use case is pretty simple though, teaching kids Nuclear Science and using this meter for rough surveys of common and uncommon objects."
"The product arrived as described and is very okay."

It does exactly what is promised and you can see the Geiger reacting to its surroundings in real time (a small graphic is pictured on the side of the screen). Also, there is a graphic on the side of the screen in the shape of a square that keeps drawing the lines as the Geiger is taking readings."
