I am looking for a safe for my son. I guess there is some concern about harm to firearms from the chemicals used in making the shelves, etc. Like the internal environment, at least with a brand new safe, could be a problem. Can anyone confirm this? And if it's true, what to do about it. Do you leave the door open on a new safe for a while until any fumes or vapors are dried up and gone? Is this chemical concern really much of an issue?
Another question: Concerning a safe dehumidifier, I have a low heat bar in my safe that works well, but some safes might be better served with a canister dehumidifier. The only worry I have about that (and with my son) is the failure to change them as required, periodically, when they are saturated with moisture. I guess my general question is how practical are the canister dehumidifiers? Do they work well? What do you think of them?
