Fred , dont worry I sometimes doubt myself . As I understand it the Goldenrod heats the air in the cabinet and the moist air is forced out through the holes or gaps in the cabinet . I had my guns stored in my basement for several years without a trace of rust , I bought a safe and a Goldenrod and they rusted within a week . The only thing I can think of that could cause this was the tightly sealed safe . My safe had no air holes except for the cord hole , which was at the bottom and filled with the cord , and I sealed the door tightly with weather stripping , which seemed like a good idea at the time , I think the heat just built up from the GR and made the cabinet condensate . I was surprised at the heat put out by the GR , it got hot enough that you did not want to hold on to it . I have used the safe for 2 years since then with no problem using the dessicant can , I take it out about every 3 months and bake it in the oven to dry it out . Good luck , Mike...
