After peoples solutions for dealing with gun safe moisture.
Currently I use two damp rid pottles, problem is sometimes they spill and its corrosive shit, have heard of a small heating bar which can be mounted in a safe but dont know anyone who has used one.
Suggestions??
I just fixed up a 60w bulb and left it on, bulb lasts a couple of months, just enough heat generated to keep moisture at bay.
Reloaders sell wee remington dehumififiers that you plug into wall when they change colour and say they are full...
You can actually get them on TM for 1/3 the price.....
I used to have bad moisture issues till i got one of these... I mean hell I live on the STH islands westcoast and right beside the sea for god sake!!!
NEVER HAVE I SINCE !!!!!
MINI RE-CHARGABLE DEHUMIDIFIER | Trade Me
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
INFACT im buying a second right now seeing as my new 14 gun gunsafe is on its way and its larger..
LArger = more potential moisture!
Hey bob, How long do you get out of a charge?Quote:

I've got a small bar wardrobe heater in my safe. I think it's approx 35W.
Keeps the safe just warm enough to keep moisture out.
Try the welding supplies shops...stick welding electrodes(rods) need to be keped dry and warm or they are shit to use... The have small electronic warmers, we have one ar work that plugs into the wall and lightly warms the cubbard.. simple and effective, have no idea what they cost tho.
I had one of the Remington things you mention Baldbob but I found it to be a piece of shit, always needed 'recharging'.
May try the lightbulb trick, I guess the lower it is in the safe the better
Hi Guys,
We have a range of similar products on the way and cheaper probably. 3 different sizes and reusable, simply put in the oven when the disc changes colour. Will put them on our website when they arrive in the next week or two. Cheers Julian
I just brought 2x Baldys dehumidifiers - see how they go in my safes
hehe, me too :)Quote:

I have a small room bout 20ft bt 10ft with all my gun stuff in there
I use and always have used just a small normal house dehumidifier for the room
Placed about half way along a wall, on the floor
Keeps everything moisture free
I also have a small damp rid container in the bottom of each safe for added protection
Not even the handle on my reloading press gets rust
Sent from my tab on TT2
I just got a email to say doesnt have any, and will be a month - WTF??!!
Advertising them on TM but doesnt actually have them
Rude... I got one but havent had a email like that... No freight to grey today cos of snow on the pass..Quote:

But you should flick that email onto TM Spanners. If they don't get told people are listing without stock in hand, people will continue to get away with it.
Sat morn I brought my 2. Email this morning.
Tried to do paynow but trademe still not got all the shit working on my account again as I was looked in on sat Internet an they had a cry
What time did you buy?
2135 friday night. payed by internet banking my purchase email didnt have paynow! Ive heard noting!
Fuck it.
I'm going to bring a crate of them in.
Stay tuned...
Alright - sorted
Should be right for under GST - expecting $40 a piece
Who wants one?
I can get 10 over in about a week
Yea righto then
Ok + 1
I can do a small 40w or 60w cabinet heater with a 3 pin plug for about $140.
Arrived yesterday by courier, not too bad for a Saturday purchase. Have plugged it in, assuming that's what I'm supposed to do :)
Plug it in to warm it and evapourate the moisture out wen wee balls go pink.... Else just hang in safe until balls turn from blue to pink... Then plug her in again..... I ant got my new one yet...Quote:
