Hey all. I finally got myself a dehumidifier rod for my safe. At first I was really afraid to do it because there was no pre-drilled hole in the protectant of the safe (it's a Field and Stream) by Stack on, I think. I previously used 3 of the Remington rechargable dehumidifiers.
Anyways, there were three pre-drilled holes in the back of the metal, already, for mounting (and 2 in the floor). I used one of the pre-drilled holes, and just drilled the right size hole through the protectant. I placed a 3/8" anti-short bushing in the hole already in the metal and placed the Dri Rod cord through the bushing. It now sits beautifully in the safe. I am still using the other dehumidifiers too.
Here are my questions:
1) Although I highly doubt it will, I want to see what others think about the hole in the protectant causing any issues with the rating (i did not compromise the metal).
2) How long after these things are running can you feel the heat to ensure they are working?
