Re: Winter storage

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@domain.elided>]

Hi Doug:

I've seen stuff somewhere, maybe Wal-Mart, called something like Damp 
Rid.  It comes in a plastic tub, and is intended for damp closets.  Don't 
know what it costs or if it's renewable like silica gel (which one can bake 
in an oven to dry).  It may even just be a tub of silica gel.

How about one of those Car Bag's?  You drive the car in and zip it up, 
supposedly creating a moisture-proof seal.  Or, maybe a dehumidifier?

Regards,

Dean
