Thread: Gun safe

Any one got any ideas for keeping your safe moisture free..heat lamps, moisture absorbers ect if you even bother?

Cheers

I just use a bottle of damp rid. Seems to work well. Change it out every 1-2 months. Not quite as good as when my safe was the hot water cylinder cupboard but pretty effective.

A little bar heater works well too if your safe is in a cold damp area like a garage or the like.

I have never used anything and this far it has not been a problem

Yeh it's in garage was thinking some kind of heat source

You can buy proper wardrobe heaters but a towel rail waaay cheaper and a 40w incandescent bulb cheaper still

Lockdown Dehumidifier Rod 12

You can get similar products from electrical wholesalers that are used to keep switch boards dry.

I have a small wardrobe heater in 1 of my safe's. Very good at keeping moisture away.

Similar to 1 of these bar type.
DAMPCHASER Cupboard Heaters specifications.

You need a cabinet heater like nibblet suggested. They are just a small thin rubber pad containing a heater element that you have plugged in full time. Keeps my safe toasty and dry

In Cambo's link I've got the 17W one on the right and it is good

Damp rid container located on the floor of the safe, change regularly!!!!!

Thanks for the replys going to try a 17w damp chaser and see how it goes they sell them at bunnings $79

Oldish post but what size safe v's wattage pad are you using?

6 gun 40watt, probably a bit overkill but kept it warm and dry

Floor or wall mounted?

Just leaning against the side so as not to touch any of the rifles
