    You are correct. Bead blasters don't work well in very humid areas.
    The finer the aluminum-oxide, the worse the situation becomes. I
    doubt if desiccant will do the job. You have to do something major to
    get the humidty down. A small air conditioner might do the job,
    especially if you built a small room or enclosure for doing your
    blasting. Maybe someone else has a better solution, but I know that I
    had to air condition my studio. Generally, our humidity is down in
    the winter months, which works out.
