    Another choice for dehumidifying your shop, aside from buying an
    actual dehumidifier, is potassium chlorate.   It's usually sold as a
    de-icer, an alternative to using salt to de-ice sidewalks.  Put a few
    pie-tins half full of the stuff in various places throughout the
    shop.  This will take moisture out of the air, and you will see it
    looking wet, and sometimes there will be water in the bottom of the
    pan.  Take it out and let it dry in the sun or bake it in the over
    till dry.  It's not toxic (it's often used as a table salt
    substitute, but I think it tastes gross).  You can use it over and
    over.
