[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3296686, member: 77814"]What kind of fire insulating material is used in that safe? If you can't control the humidity inside the safe I'm going to guess it's not very air tight either. Meaning with an open seam or something there's no way you will be able to control the interior temperature or humidity. The only way is to work on sealing the safe, or have a smaller safe inside that you can have seals on and make that air tight. With the large temp and humidity variance throughout the years if it is metal with basic sheet rock drywall material I'd be curious if there's also any mold in there from over the years that you can't see because it's between layers of metal which may not be sealed from the environment. edit: per their website it appears to use drywall type board, layers of them. [ATTACH=full]872683[/ATTACH] I've resisted putting anything in my garage which is separate and not temperature controlled. My old garage was connected with an area that was temp controlled and that worked fine. I put my coins in airtight tupper ware type containers with a anti-tarnish strip and a small rechargeable packet. Those are in a safe which also has a larger anti-humidity unit and is fairly airtight .. until I open it of course.[/QUOTE]
