I hope this is the correct forum.

I'm wondering about acceptable conditions to store firearms in a safe. I have a Dri-rod in mine and it has been running a few degrees above the house temperature and around 33% humidity. What should my humidity goal be for my safe? For a dessicant, are there options that are reusable instead of throw away? Could I dry out a dessicant product in the oven at a low temp for an hour or two and put it back in my safe? I'm obviously not knowledgeable in this subject and any input would be appreciated.
