[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 419426, member: 432"] Actually Al U Minium is right. Air tight does not mean water free. There is water in the air you breathe. It is called humidity. You can't see it until in condenses. If you have an air tight compartment there is water in it. It will not receive any more moisture if it is sealed air tight. You can dry it as much as possible but there is still water in it. Even if you put desicant cartridges into the compartment it transfers moisture from the air to the cartridges. The moisture is still there but moved to the catridges. When you open the hatch humid air fills the compartment again. You can minimize the water content but can't entirely get rid of it. Nitrogen gas is used in a lot of applications where you want a compartment free of as much water as possible. Nitrogen is considered a dry gas. [/QUOTE]
