Too each his own, Dan....as I said, I am not a fan of wiping the wood down with water.

Do you happen to recall any seasoning timings? I am sitting on a 20ct that has had water in it for about 7 days, currently sitting at 61% and seems to rise every 2 - 3 days.

Using the boilng water method and then 65% beads, I was able to get a small cabinet humi to hold 65% within a couple days, Jeff.

Thanks Tom, I didn't boil the water, just have a cup in there with beads. I am starting to question the seal a bit... but what do you expect for a 20ct from a Cuban flea market for 10 pesos!

I think that's your problem. Almost every one I've seen uses a thin ply top (1/8") with solid edging to make the top appear thicker. The outside of the top is varnished while the inside unfinished. This will always cause thin material to warp.
