What humidity level would be good for my room and safe? I have it around 35% right now.

    ,,,,I don't have any type of humidity control in my room/safe but I live in a low humidity are. The humidity here runs from 12-50% and I've never had any problem, ever. I will wipe each firearm with a lightly oiled cloth every 6 months or so and have never had any hint of a problem,,,,,,JMHO



    My safe is in the basement and gets about %70 humidity in the summer. I think 35% will be fine.

    Mine runs from 40% in winter with furnace running to 90% now. Very seldom does it cause a problem as long as I wipe eveything down with CLP 1 or 2 times per year.
