Hello everyone. I have been thinking about turning a
small, walk-in closet, into a place to keep my
meteorites. It would work good, because there is
pleanty of room to walk in, shelves to keep specimens
on, etc. I have a few rather large iron meteorites
that I would like to keep from rusting, along with
smaller specimens. What would be the best way to lower
the humidity and keep it low in this area? Of course,
I would like to do it the cheapest way possible. The
only thing I could think of would be putting some large
desiccant packets in there. Also, there is no AC duct,
would temperature be a factor since the closet has an
outside wall? Thanks for any information.

Ray
