I'm no expert, but if you're looking at 60 degrees or so, I wouldn't be that worried. Better low than high as far as temperatures go. Sure, RH will drop with the temp a tad, but I'd think that as long as changes are gradual, and that the ultimate temperature isn't too low, you should be safe.
Alright, thanks guys! Now I just need to pick out a size.
I picked up a blue 48-qt coleman cooler the other night at ***'s sporting goods. It was only 19.99, has a good seal and the water valve on the bottom (which I liked so that I can keep it open to get air circulation if I am ever away for an extended period of time). I would have liked to go bigger, butu my wife was amazingly cool with me getting this for the intended reason and I didn't want to push it (yet).
Thinking of ordering a Coleman 70 qt. I was looking at the 50 qt at my local store and I thought it was too small, and they had a 120 qt which I just feel is way more than I need (I know, I know....always go bigger!). I think this 70 qt Xtreme should fit my needs.
How would you go about testing the seal of a cooler? Dollar bill?
flashlight test. turn on a bright flashlight and set it inside the cooler. close it. if you can clearly see light then it is not sealed. if you see light bit it is obviously through plastic, then you are fine
Just put in an order for a 70 quart cooler. Based on the dimensions, the volume is about 5 1/3 cubic feet. Should I need much more than a pound of humidifcation beads?
