One effective way to combat corrosion problems is by the use of desiccants like Silica Gel. These are the same small sachets you find in packaging of various products like electronics, garments, etc.
ReplyDeleteSilica Gel works by absorbing the moisture in its surrounding area. For most corrosion challenges, it does the job pretty well. Small sachets cost less than a dollar. It truly is a cost effective way of protection from moisture.
