We have a safe for documents and valuables. Would Damprid help with the moisture? Which one should I purchase?

DampRid does absorb moisture from the air significantly. I assume this DampRid Super System is too large to fit in a safe. It is suggested for use in a medium sized room. Maybe buy a smaller DampRid product. They do work very well. The super system lasted three months in my room which is about 20ft L x 16ft W x 12ft H.

It depends on the humidity where the case and guitar are stored. How dry, or wet is the guitar? If the ambient humidity is near or at optimum then there is no need to do anything extra. The humidipak will be fine. If the room conditions are way out of the desired range then the ability of the salts in humidipak to release or absorb moisture will be exhausted more quickly than expected. This is my understanding of the process.

You could try refrigeration in a paper bag. I believe they keep longer in a paper bag as the moisture isn't locked in.

Basically,the unit is nothing more than a "gym locker", meaning it is not airtight, and will not exclude moisture. I would suggest the use of use a heating rod should give adequate control of moisture if the location of the cabinet is kept in a relatively dry room. If it's located in an area without the electricity required by a heating rod, the I would use desiccant as a de-humidifier.

We recommend the use of a small amount of high quality wet lubricant, like the Master Lock 2300D. WD40 can be used for cleaning or washing the moisture out of a padlock but a good lubricant needs to be applied afterwards.

If you are asking why paper is curling up and musky smelling inside the safe, it is because it does get damp inside these safes. Use desicants and put the paperwork inside watertight bags. And air it out at least once a month. This info came straight from Sentry Safe.

If you do put gun or ammo in the safe be sure an add something to absorb the moisture. They have so many things on the market these days i wont list them out. Any time you have a water proof safe its almost guaranteed to build up condensation on the inside due to the combination of ambient temperature changes and being air tight.

Hi thanks for your question. A little moisture will be fine however submersion of glasses with labels is Jo recommended. Trust ths assists.

We have not had any problems like this (although we open our case fairly often...), but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to throw in a couple of desiccant packets to absorb any moisture and protect your contents, just to be on the safe side.

Because it is waterproof, the humidity never equalizes in the space it is stored in. I try to let it "air out" about once a week by leaving the safe door open for about an hour.

I am not sure -- moisture is not a problem with mine-- I have some of those silca packs in the safe. I may get too hot-- I know it is fire proof but not heat proof

Of course it depends on the humidity in your house. I have a full size gun safe and I've had my Stack-on since October and I've dry it out once. Not so much that it needed it but more that I wanted to see it work. I keep several rifles, pistols, and ammo in there and I am pleased with the results.

No, it is not protected against moisture, but "Jun" gave a very good answer on how you might get some outdoor use out of it. I plan to use it outdoors with some protection and expect it to last long enough to make it well worth the price I paid.

I've never tried these for a substantial amount of moisture. They do work okay to absorb drips and moisture. I use the Premium because there is a little more padding than the regulars and the plastic backing seems a bit more substantial.

I did use moisture (just a little water) but I don't know if would be required. We have a pine cone wreath on it now (hanging indoors on our metal door that leads outside). It seems very secure.

You want to avoid this particular safe... It has to be opened every 2 weeks for 30 minutes to keep the moisture out. The company will even tell you this. I kept mine because it's a pain to return anything with Amazon.

As far as I know there shouldn't be any problem using it in a humid environment. I have been using it in my basement and it is usually somewhat damp down there. It has been working very well for me.
