Why is this a bad idea?

[Badgemash]

Just a tip too late for your hubby Badgemash.
Hit up any welder friends for the reusable useable desiccant packs from 25Lb or larger MIG spools. Toss a couple of those in a gun cabinet and moisture is never an issue again barring a flood. Pulls the moisture right out of the air especially in a confined space like a cabinet.

He found out I moved all of his stuff (seemed quite happy actually, go figure) but I'm sure he'd love anything that will help keep his preciouses in tip-top condition.

Not sure how difficult it is to get your hands on, but it's also available in bulk. Changes color as it absorbs moisture, and you just have to microwave it to reactivate. If you happen to know any aircraft electricians or avionics techs in the military or defense contractors, they should be able to "acquire" some for you...


Not that I'm advocating the misappropriation of government property or anything.

lol, we're both ex-military, and hubby is a helicopter pilot, so I'm pretty sure one of us could sort something out...

Nuts, I should have suggested that stuff right off, we have scads of it and it's awesome for keeping the safes dry. And yes, hubby has a welder.

Aww mine wants one of those (no idea why, he just wants it), but I banned him from buying any more toys until he uses the ones he already has (I just moved what had to be 20lbs of brass and three boxes of reloading gear that's been used ONCE).

Someone suggested earlier (forgot who sorry) putting dish of water in front of the heater, which I tried yesterday (did not have a ton of time to shop for humidifiers, but didn't like the ones I saw in the the stores so far either) and it worked pretty well actually. I've had two do beautiful sheds in the last 24 hours, so that's good.
