I actually have two questions. Does this also work for humid tropical climates to avoid rust and mold? Does this also work for electric guitars?

Yes It will work in tropical climates though you mught have to change them more often. Yes they work very well for electric guitars. The guitars must be in their cases and kept closed when not in use.

I use it in non rusted metal specifically to prevent any rust and it works wonders making the metal rust proof, for as long as it stays in the metal, this supposed to be to prep before paint that way will last forever cuz is protected by the paint and metal wont rust under the paint like it happens in some cases if you dont treat the metal before paint, just my experience, it also treat rusted metal and convert rust into something like black oxide and ready fpr paint or yoy can just wire brush rusted area and then apply it works either way it is awesome, if i can i would wash my mouth with it LOL

I have used this for outdoor use a couple of times. One was for hanging an outdoor clock. No rust there but the clock is under the eaves. I also used this inconjunction with a garden hose to stake a tree. I saw no signs of rust or corrosion. This wire has a plastic coating on it of course once it is cut the ends of the wire do protrude. Maybe after cutting the wire you could push the coating back to cut the wire itself shorter and then move it back into position. I think that sealing the ends of the wire could be accomplished with a heat source such as a lighter. It is the best thing that I could think of for outside use. Good luck.

The humidipak just rests in the guitar case, not in the instrument itself so it should be ideal for your Ovavtion. I use this for a lute which has a rosette (no open sound hole) and it works great.

There are two components that are used. The humidipaks a are placed into two different shaped fabric sleeves. One is placed in the case under the headstock and that one is left there. The other is placed over the strings and into the sound hole when guitar is stored, and then removed before playing. A little care is needed when positioning the humidipak sleeve over the strings and into the sound hole, but I think it is one if the simplistic, and most foolproof of the humidity control devices I've seen that are available.

We live in Florida which is pretty much the arm pit of the world as far as moisture is concerned and we've not had any rust issues. The only thing we do is turn it upside down so water doesn't collect in it.

Don't get it too wet the electronics inside rust I used it under my awning for over a year no problems you can point it on a angle down away from cloth the awning helps hold the heat I use two of them on a 20 amp circuit with no problem

Well, any knife will have issues with moisture. Of course the only part you would need to worry about rusting, would be the blade. If you strip the coating off the knife as many people have done, then you have more areas to worry about. Keep the knife oiled and dry when possible and it will serve you great.

This humidifier works fine in a case to get humidity in the guitar quickly; although I use this one at times in one of my older guitars, I tend to use HumidiPak (also sold by Amazon.com) to keep the case at about 47 percent humidity at all times. If a guitar sits open, the room needs to be in the right humidity range -- this particular product would likely dry quickly in an open room (unless you are in a very humid area.

Hey Tom, I have been using this for 8 months, it almost always stays on the guitar unless I'm in travel, I have not noticed any damage at all. I imagine if the foam wasn't in an ideal situation it could cause some damage, like moisture, heat, sunlight, etc. I keep mine indoors and climate controlled. of course the foam is similar to that of the capo I use, so I'm not sure where the damage would come from. Maybe someone else with longer usage can chime in and answer this better. Cheers

I have one of these for every acoustic guitar I own. Cold winters make for low humidity. They have all worked perfectly for me. Completely gets rid of fret buzz! Just a note: I used to keep my guitars on stands for ease of playing and just showing them off - Bad Choice! Do yourself a favor and KEEP ALL YOUR GUITARS IN CASES unless you are playing them. Hope this helps............ John

Yes they can, but it also depends on how good of a guitar case you have. It stays right around 48% in my Taylor case. But in a cheap case I have for my "camp" guitar, it varies up to 60% in very humid weather (but still better than they 90% that is outside.

I bought this for in the house in the wintertime. It is -27 degrees here so our house is very dry. If you are fortunate enoughto be in a warmer climate and have excess humidity, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier. I cannot see this having any rust problems for years. I also do not collapse mine and have it always standing in my laundry room. I love mine. Hope this of some help to you.

It can work if you slide it between the strings. However, you risk water dripping on your instrument if it's on edge.
