Indirect filling of the beads is the best.

I have never dunked or sprayed my beads to fill them. I keep the beads in tied-off woman's nylons. When RH in my humis drops a couple percent I place a wet (NOT dripping) anti-microbial sponge (such as o cello brand) into the humidor. The water evaporates from the sponge and the beads soak it up and fill. A great thing about indirect filling is that you don't need to use distilled water; all the impurities remain in the sponge.
