Hey im new here and hope this is where it goes. I have a sentry 14 gun safe and have looked all over for a good answer. I sealed it up tight with weather stripping and have two of the eva dry 333 in it with a humidity monitor, the digital kind. My temp is constant around 73 and i cant get my humidity to drop below 51 even with two in it. My room humidity is 60%. I do keep everything oiled and break free clp coating. I just would prefer a 40% RH or so. Any ideas would help. I have a goldenrod, but its just for temp and dew point. More silica Gel possibly? Can you have too much, i mean besides cracking or drying out wood stalks. I just dont like my higher humidity. Thank you all Oh and one more 750 gram dessicant on the way.
