Re: keeping 7018 rod dry

     Richard:
     
     What I did was pretty simple and seems to work.  I got an old 
     microwave oven (no I don't nuke them..).  I placed the rods into 
     it and rigged-up an ordinary 60watt bulb to keep the inside warm.
     The oven "breathes" and moisture can escape.   It  is not well 
     insulated so heat is lost.  I'm thinking of getting an old ice chest
     and doing something with it...and using a 20 watt bulb.  I would place
     a thermometer inside and check temp for an adequate temp.  What is
     an adequate temp?  I suspect any temp greater than ambient as long as 
     it can breathe....
