So, I got a new gun safe a couple weeks ago. To control humidity until I got a goldenrod, I put some Damp-Rid buckets in it. Last night, I looked on the label and saw that the active ingredient is Calcium Chloride, a salt. I looked it up on the interwebz, and sure enough, it is corrosive to steel. I pulled the tubs out right away, but it still has me worried. Do I need to wipe my guns down or clean the interior of the safe? I just wiped down all my guns and don't want to have to do it again if I don't need to. This might sound paranoid, but I have been burned bad by rust on my guns before. For the record, both tubs were on the other side of the divider from my guns.
