iano Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Quick question for you guys. I'm looking to see if there is a in safe heat / de-humidifier for a safe? Use case here is a safe that is not in full time use, but will have guns / ammo in it for short periods of time. House that the safe is in would be a bit damp, although the wall it is backed against should be warm. Has anyone any suggestions? Safe is an infac safe.

Stonepark Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I use a Calcium Chloride one, available anywhere. A thin narrow one, sits behind butts of guns and just refresh when required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Line it with cheap polystyrene tiles and pop in one of those Napier vp90 sachets - should do the trick. Make sure the guns are dry and room temperature before you put them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the same salt they use on roads to prevent icing? Line it with cheap polystyrene tiles and pop in one of those Napier vp90 sachets - should do the trick.

bruno22rf Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Polystyrene insulates the inside of the cabinet and prevents any rapid change in temperature which is often the cause of condensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - also probably helps prevent any nicks or scratches on the guns themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is in a very cool (circa 10 Centigrade in winter) - but stable temperature room - and I have never had trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
