Safes and dehumidifiers

[Gunnyart]

The desiccant bags can be refreshed too by placing in a low oven for several hours.

Sniper Steve, do you know where I can buy one?

[bigtex76]

Or desiccant bags?

The crystal cat litter (100% silica gel)

Never used one here in DFW, never a problem with moisture. I've been called **** about several things, probably also applies to gun-care.

Academy sells them as well.

I don't have one in my safe and haven't had one for over 30 years and no problems. Safe i kept inside of house.

I got a couple of buckets full of silica gel packets from work. I just throw a couple in there. They work great.

Most safes have a hole drilled through just the metal on the back near the bottom. Use a phillips screwdriver or awl to open up the hole through the fire board and install the dehumidifier.

I use the Remington and I also have a gauge that tell you the level of humidity.

Desiccant bags, Golden rod dehumidifier and a bowl of dry rice can be found inside my safe. Anything I can do to keep moisture away.
Remember...Gun only have two enemies...Liberals and rust.

There are going to be holes in the bottom of your safe, where it would be anchored down. This is where most run the cord. Or you can drill a hole, but I don't really recommend that.

There are several dehumidifiers on the market that don't require being plugged in all the time. There will be colored "pellets" inside. When they turn a certain color, they are "full" of moisture. You take it out, plug it in for 12 hours, and refresh it. Remington makes a nice one for around $25.

Thanks! I like the sounds of the one you plug in to dry out and put back inside.
