Not to worry. Calcium chloride is a solid, with properties similar to
sodium chloride (table salt). These melt somewhere just short of a red
heat.

Thanks Joe. It's some time since I used my physical chemistry studies, so
they're a little oxidised.
Does it make any difference that the drying properties of the substance
must(?) result in a calcium chloride solution lurking in the micro - porous
clay structure? I just had a nagging doubt / confusion about the
independence of the components of a solution when it comes to vapour
pressures and all that.
