Once a lab rarity, molecular sieves became pretty cheap and widely available in Amazon/Ebay

and so easy to use:
heat in oven/microwave oven to expel air
allow to cool off
pour in oil bottle
close bottle cap
allow to dry for 24+ hours
remove sieves from oil with a simple mesh, and it's ready to use.

Either 3A or 4A sieves will work
but maybe 4A are preferable because of FDA approval

Molecular sieves drying is a pharma approved process for injectables (before sterile filtration)

Study shows sieves work great to dry moist BA
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/i260023a001?journalCode=iepdaw
BA readily absorbs moisture from air and it's difficult to dry as it forms an azeotrope

4A sieves also work to dry BB

So say goodbye to cloudy gear forever!
