I do very little painting, a job every three years or so. I am concerned about moisture so I have not finished the tractor that I was working on last winter because of humidity. I got an idea for a DIY dryer. My idea is to get a piece of 1" copper about 6 feet long and mount it vertically to the wall about 20 feet from my compressor and tank. I will plumb air to it about a foot from the bottom and plumb in a drain valve at the bottom. I will come off the top with the outlet and plumb it down to about four ft. from floor for hose to attach to. I keep the temp in the building at about 70 in the summer and 40 in the winter unless I am doing something like painting. Does it sound like this would catch most of the moisture?
