Default Re: Humidor help....

Firstly, welcome, you should go introduce yourself in the new inmates section.

Now onto you problems. First, get yourself a good digital hygrometer and salt test/calibrate it. Without this 100% is meaningless.Next, you wiped the humidor down with 50/50? You should not have done this. At most you should have lightly rubbed the sides with a damp cloth with ONLY distilled water. Never let 50/50 hit the wood. If you are at 100%, your wood is super saturated, adding humidity discs is going in the wrong direction. I would suggest you rewipe the wood with just distilled water to remove as much of the 50/50 and let the box sit open for a few days to dry out. Then, when this happens, put a little bowl of distilled water in the bottom and close it for a day, check the humidity, and repeat each day until you get to 60-70%. Then you are seasoned and ready to go.
