packing peanut trick
« on: April 23, 2004, 03:33:29 PM »
I have now started taking a few of the foam packing peanuts and saturating them with wd-40 and putting them in with my dies/

The idea is that the oil will evaporate slowly and the vapors keep moisture out of the boxes and away from the dies

...............Or you can place silica gel paks in the die boxes and keep everything dry w/o oil.

Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most.

It seems most of us have out reloading stuff in the cellar;) Yup we are trolls LOL. But in doing so, get a good room upright dehumidifier, never have rust again 8) you find during the thaw season it will run longer and fill up sooner. Die's and anything metal stay like brand new. Aim small hit small. RAMbo.
