Drill a small hole just big enough for the/a wire, cut the wire and splice/put on a new plug. Lots of safes already have holes, especially at the bottom.I'd like to use the heated rod, but I don't want to drill a hole big enough for a plug to fit through.
I've been using the rechargeable moisture absorbing cartridges. Which reminds me, I need to check them and plug them in to dry them out.,
Drill a small hole just big enough for the/a wire, cut the wire and splice/put on a new plug If you have a firesafe, a hole might screw up that action though.
Gun safe dehumidifier rods generally come with a EZ fit plug that you put on once the cord is thru.
I was just thinking about my prior post. If you have a firesafe you could probably spooge some high temp RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) goo into the hole around the wire. That'd probably work good.I thought about cutting the wire. I was concerned about messing up the fire resistance, not that a 1/4" hole should matter much.. but...
I'll have to look closer at the heater rods.. I didn't realize they had them ready to assemble.
How bout zip lock bag will that work
85Win said:A question for some of you guys who mentioned using a heating rod.
I have a small safe that is bolted to an outer wall, so in the wintertime the inside of my safe gets cold, sometimes very cold, especially overnight.
I debated using a rod but thought that a) cold air always holds less moisture than warm air and b) if there is moisture in the safe a very cold gun will rust at a much slower rate than a warm gun.
Is this line of thinking correct? I have never had a problem with rust from storage, although I do use good rust preventatives. Even now I am still debating whether to use a rod or not years later (like I said it is a small safe).
Thanks
