spandit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just bought a dehumidifier from the Co-op for £1 - they come in a variety of twee scents - have shoved it in my gun cabinet - got to be worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot.ontheroad Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 If you want to help keep your gun cabinet dry, go to your local furniture store and see if they have any of the silica crystal dessicant sachets that imported sofas come with to keep them dry in transit.They are about 6" x 6" and are usually thrown away. They can be dried out by leaving on a radiator for a day every few weeks. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two in the house and no problem with rusting guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 My cabinet is under the stairs but the house is pretty damp and old. My other gun cabinet (for my non-FAC airguns) is now rose scented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I use something similar but without the scents. Kilrock do a large tub/small bucket of anhydrous calcium chloride for refilling those little dehumidifiers. Seems to work for me. My cabinet is bolted to an exterior non-cavity wall, so in very cold weather can get condensation but the dehumidifiers work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
