Liquid for Beads

jaymz · 11-05-2008, 09:46 AM

I ran out of distilled water, but wondered if i could use some Humid-eze "wetting solution" that i have for the beads until I get up to the store?

I would wait until you get to the store.

what is your humidity at? i think you should be ok for a couple days.

You will clog the beads and they will be ruined.

Very true.

If you're in a pinch, regular tap water will work. Depending on the amount of impurities, it would probably take a year(s) to clog the pours in the beads with just tap water. But, since all water is different and distilled water is free of impurities that won't clog the pours, it is HIGHLY recommended to use distilled water only.

I hope this helps

Thanks for the replies, i'll just wait then. I'm just a little low now, around 60% compared to my usual 65% - so i should be good till later tonight or tomorrow.

Do you have R/O water?

I would think the propelyne glycol in the solution would stick to the beads and make them "gummy" and therfore unusable.
