Spara Dritto Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I know you don't really want to spend money but for £6.35 you can have peace of mind...Napier do some excellent products. They have vp90 pads, last 9 months for a 5 gun cabinet and they are easy to apply. Apparently, it's bad to use the salt type sachets you get in shoes/pockets etc because they dry the air and can damage your stock!

cooter Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have a thermostatically controlled heater in my cabinet. It might be a bit extreme for some people, but the cabinet is in a place where it is susceptible to the outside environment, and the heater keeps it at a temperature where moisture is not a problem. Before I had the heater I used to use lots of little silica bags you get with most appliances these days, then give them a dry in the oven every now and then.
