Glad I refrained from storing my handguns in it. Have not used it since. Give it a go again after I move it upstairs (with help!). Will try a desiccant bag next time.

While living in Washington State I had the same problem with a large gun sefe. I found a device that would actually collect moisture in the safe and percipitate it into a container. It had to be emptied ever so often but really helped to keep my card collection dry(er).
