njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I've just bought myself one of these things to put inside my cabinet. Is it ok to leave the door open when you take the gun out, or do you think it will reduce its effective lifespan to have it left out in the open for too long?

karl h Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 would not of thought it makes that much difference mate i have put 2 in my cabinet just to be over cautious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Won't make any odds really, worth checking the size of your cabinet against the blarb on the back of the pack - some of the larger cabinets would need two of these anyway :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 It's only a small 3 gun cabinet. About 8" square by 5 ft high. It says on the pack that it is good up to 3.5 cu ft. They had them for £3 in countrywide, so I grabbed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Oh aye fine for that size, anything much bigger than 5 gun shotty cabs would more than likely need 2.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I figured that £3 was money well spent if it makes the £1000+ toy look good for a few extra years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 im going to need one of these any day now, have a 7 gun extra deep do you lot think i might possibly need 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 From what's been said on here, one wouldn't be enough. For what they cost, get two to be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Call me a cheapskate but I use those little bags of Silca Crystals that comes with most electrical goods they work very well at absorbing moisture and keeping the cabinet dry :blink: LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I've heard that you need to be careful with those things. Too little moisture can cause your wood to crack in extreme cases! I'm no expert, but I've always avoided them just in case :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 bought a bunch for the machine cabinets here, encased tin around 5"x3"x1" they also have a visual colour change indicator to say when they are saturated, put in oven for 30 mins or so high and good to go again, have 8 in my gun room all working great.
