Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
If I was to do the shot glass method do I need to wait until I get my Bovedas tomorrow or can I go ahead start tonight by putting DW in a shot glass or two with the trays stacked on top of each other in my Klip-It?
Would both trays season properly at the same time if I have one stacked on top of the other inside my Klip-It?? |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
You do not need to wait for the Boveda packs. A sponge is better than a shot glass, if you have one as the sponge has more surface area.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Yes any sponge, as long as they aren't pre-soaped. All you do is soak the sponge in distilled water and put it on a small plate inside whatever you are trying to season. Close it up and leave it closed, check the sponge in a couple days to see if it dried out, if it did re-soak it. The reason sponges are better than the shot glass method is that there is more surface area on the sponge.

So I soak the entire sponge, wring it out a bit, and put it on a plate in one of my cedar trays? Since I'll be using 2 cedar trays inside a 7 litre Klip-It as a Tupperdor will both trays season at the same time if I have one stacked on top of the other?? |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So I just got my Western Caliber IV hygrometer in the mail plus my Boveda hygrometer calibration kit.
How do I use them? I haven't taken the hygrometer out of the box yet. |

I think now I will start seasoning my trays tonight with the "sponge soaked in DW on a plate" method. How wet do I wet the sponge? I assume I wring it out a bit before putting it on the plate? |

I'll get up and fly away

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
It's not critical. The plate is meant to catch any water that drips out, right?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So I ended up going to Canadian Tire and grabbing these:
I wet one very well with DW and put it on a plate and put the plate in the top tray in my Klip-It Here's how it looks now... And here it is resting beside my bed on my CD storage box/nightstand for stuff resting and doing its thing. One question though, given at how thick the sponge is (it's basically touching the inside of the lid of the Klip-It when I put the lid on it and sealed the Klip-It shut) will that mess up the seasoning process if its touching the inside of the lid??? |

Grrrrrr

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Nope, not at all. If it were contacting the wood, it might oversaturate it, but plastic doesn't have that problem.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Slightly stupid question regarding sponges but I figured I'd ask so I'll know for future reference.
I just noticed that on the pack of my package of sponges it says "rinse before and each use." Now obviously I didn't wanna rinse the sponge under the tap with tapwater, so I just soaked it with DW and wrung it out with my hand before soaking it very well again and putting it on a plate on the top tray in my Tupperdore to let it start seasoning the trays. That should be ok right since I didn't "rinse" the sponge in the conventional sense under a hot water tap with soap? |

Yes, it should be just fine.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So my new Western Caliber IV hygrometer that I just got yesterday has now been sitting in the Boveda calibration pack for 24 hours exactly.
It's currently reading at 29 degrees Celcius and 77% Should I leave it in the calibration bag for another 12 hours as the calibration kit says to leave the hygrometer in there anywhere from 24-36 hours. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
No idea what that Celsius thing is that you speak of, but if it's in a Fahrenheit range that you like I think you're GTG. Also, it wouldn't hurt to leave it in the bag for another day or so.
