Humidiy issue

LiquidChaos66

So I hate sounding like a broke record... I wiped down my humi couple weeks ago sides, bottom and seals. Its not holding humidity worth beans! My Heartfelt beads (65%) and a small Dr. RH Jar used to keep it happy and steady at 64-65% I find myself having to soak down half of my bead sticks every few days... It hasn't been exceptionally dry in our parts recently and temps aren't too bad. But its always 68-7y3 degrees in my house. Am I going to have to throw a cup of distilled water in my humi in place of my Dr. RH Jar to keep it level?

Shot glass of distiller water. Leave it for a few weeks and slowly over time the drier cedar and sticks will soak it up. Even if you have to do that long term it's a simple and easy solution I think.

Switch to a cooler. I have abandoned my wood humi's for this reason. High in summer and low in winter. Got sick of chasing them

I think that's my solution then. Good thing I have almost a full gallon of distilled water just hangin around my house. lol

Stupid question time... Will the position in the humi of the shot glass matter?

If possible and if the humi is dual leveled or more out at top since the heavier higher saturated in water air will fall.

There was a new furnace installed before we moved in. It has a drip bucket condensation and moisture drains into... our last system didn't have that. The bucket gets drained every week... maybe a gallon or two depending on how much its raining outside. maybe its that.

So with a large boveda pack 65% how many sticks can I keep in a one gallon ziplock?

Fill 'er up. I think one "regular" Boveda is plenty enough for a gallon ziplock.
