Hey Gun Collectors

[jamesharrison]

I have a gun room vault, which I thought was thoroughly dry. Just for kicks I put a couple of dollar store dehumidifiers in there. Two months later they had about 2 pints of water between the two of them.

Grizz

GRIZZ!!!

BEWARE

The Dollarama dehumidifiers I bought for the cold room downstairs apparently contain salts. Personally, I would not, had I known, have ever put those anywhere in my home, much less anywhere near my firearms. Thankfully, I did not. However, some of the items we brought in from the cottage, were not so lucky.

Those things are calcium chloride. They are an absolute nightmare if you let them get around guns.
A tiny bit of spillage in the bottom of the gun cabinet is all it takes to make that spot a forever rust machine.
Don't let those things within a quarter mile of a gun.
Silica dehumidifiers are the way to go, in my opinion.
