I think I need some advice on one of my safes. I have four safes full of guns, and only one of them seems to give me problems. I think it must be related to one time when I was browning a muzzleloader..which I have done numerous times over the years. After the browning, I used baking soda and water to stop the process and afterward stored the rifle in this safe. Normally I have all my other muzzleloaders in another safe.
I keep the blued firearms in my safes well covered with RIG grease normally, and they are still getting rust in this one safe. I sort of think maybe it is acting as a browning cabinet maybe as a result of the browning that was placed there once. I don't think dessicant or a golden rod would be a solution for me as the garage where this is kept is quite warm already and I have no problems in my other safes in the same area.
The safe is lined with the normal thin carpet type of material and I'm thinking maybe this needs to addressed at this point. I was contemplating using a mixture of baking soda and water to saturate the inside of the safe to see if it could neutralize the browning problem?
Your thoughts on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else out there ever face something like this?
