Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are doing good!
I have a large garage that I want to start filling with metalworking tools for my own amusement (and maybe beer money).
Being in lovely upstate NY... we get lots of temp swings and plenty of humidity. Last night I discovered standing water on all sorts of things that shouldn't have water on them...
Eventually I'm going to wall off a section and add some climate control. Heating the entire building is a bit out of line at the moment...
For now I'm wondering if I put up a smallish plastic structure and enough dehumidifiers to maintain almost 0 relative humidity(or what ever is needed to prevent condensation) and left if unheated would metal surfaces survive? I figure if I can seal a small space up enough that a few small sized dehumidifiers can drop the moisture to almost non existent levels... then it can't condense out on my tools when the temp/humidity shifts around.
Or at least thats what I'm thinking...
My playground
Thanks,
