a couple of quick questions
Do you have a water softner installed ?
are you seeing any corrosion on the gun cabinet ?
and last ? is any metal portion of the guns touching the cabinet, or each other ?
A little info for all about corrosion:
To understand cathodic protection one must first understand the corrosion mechanism. For corrosion to occur, three conditions must be present.
1. Two dissimilar metals
2. An electrolyte (water with any type of salt or salts dissolved in it
3. A metal (conducting) path between the dissimilar metals
Hope this will help
Yup we have a water softner but our water/salt ratio is fairly low becuase we already have pretty soft water. No corrosion on cabinet. No the guns are touching the foam liner of the cabinet and the plastic things that hold each gun.
Moisture from the shower could be the problem,even in small amounts salt mixed with water and oxygen,then add dissimular metals in a given location nearby could lead to the corrosion your seeing
