Hi There

I am Looking at an alternative plan to keep low hydro... SMAW, (MMA) rods dry. My thought is to use a vacuum controlled chamber to vacate moister out of XX18 type rods. The reason is that in A/C units you pull a vacuum to rid the dampness in the system and was wondering if would also work for us on keeping our rods dry. I do believe it would be cheaper to run than a heated rod oven.

Love to hear what y'all think and would it even be worth the effort?

Thanks
Ray

P.S. Love that forums like this exist because there are many ways to figure on stuff just like this.
