This is all extremely helpful thanks very much. For now i think i'll try some big sealed containers with some silica gel and see how i get on with that. It's only on certain jobs with a particular type of paint we are having the problem, so the idea of small boxes will probably suffice at present. Once again, thanks a lot for all the helpful comments and i'll update in a few days when we have (hopefully) some success.

Hello everyone first post here and i am looking for a solution to a problem. I am attempting to use some water based paints for my business as i do custom painting on crash helmets. I am currently running into difficulties with the paint absorbing too much moisture from the environment of my workshop and ruining (at times) the paintjob. I have to create an area on a relatively low budget for now, where i can put the helmets/panels to sit where the moisture cannot attack the paint. At present i am thinking of utilizing an old fridge/freezer (turned off of course) in the hopes that my predictions of it being a generally tightly sealed and insulated unit that this could be a viable solution. SOOO i am asking for some scientific knowledge before i drag this fridge in to my workshop and attempt this technique. In theory is this likely to work? If not, are there any other solutions which may work where i could create a moisture free area on a budget? Thanks in advance for any input.
