Some pictures of what it did to a guy's guns down in that thread.

Bottom line: don't use it in a safe (IMO).

You said you intended to keep it in your basement. You didn't say whether it is a finished basement or not. I wouldn't want to keep guns is an area without conditioned air. Although keeping a safe on a concrete basement floor is an ideas spot for preventing/minimizing fire damage, it is a terrible spot for dampness and rust. You might at least consider a dehumidifier in the basement in addition to treating the space inside the safe itself.

Good advice. A dehumidifier will really help. All if our walkin vaults get a dehumidifier

dehumidifying rod. Have used one for 10 years and has done a great job. No recharging needed.

damp rid works great. Been using it for about 7 years now with my safe in the basement.

Put a piece of plywood under it to keep it off the concrete.
I bet there is a hole in the back for an electrical cord.
Golden rod is the only way to go.
