Hey all,
Well, last winter in the below 0*F temps we had, a water pipe for our bathrooms had burst over our material storage area. Thinking nothing of it, I fixed it and went along my business.
Well, this morning I grabbed a barrel that had been sitting there and started running a job, only to find it's popping when purging. In the bottom of the 55 gal drum, is about 4 gallons of water. I've found 4 barrels like this total. And yes, they were covered, but with stretch wrap and some had holes in the top for god knows what reason.
So my question, what the hell can I do to save my materials? These are expensive materials that I can't afford to replace. I ran one material in a desiccant dryer, and it got some but not all water/moisture out.
What can I do other than throwing this material away?!
Thanks guys, and have a good weekend... I know I won't.
