Gentlemen,
I've recently purchased a larger safe, a fire protective type. I have had my arms in a non-fire protective type for 30+ years and have never had any issues with any type of corrosion. I periodically (maybe twice a year) will wipe down the arms with my preservative rag.
Desiccants draw moisture from the air. VCI devices emit vapors into the air and heaters heat the air thus drying it.
In your experience, particularly with fire protective safes, is there a increased need for corrosion protection due to, maybe, a tighter built safe?
I'm just curious if I should consider employing any of the above mentioned means of corrosion protection, given my previous experience(s).
FWIW, I'm in Oklahoma. Hot, dry and Hot, humid, occasional monsoons. (Not Houston though )
Thanks for your input.
