I'm no expert on seasoning a humidor, but wouldn't a wet paper towel be prone to growing mold?

This Is What I "ALWAYS" Use For All My Humidors. Works Great!

See "Boveda 84% For Seasoning Humidor". If You Have A Small Humi, (2) 65% Packs Will Cost You $8 + Shipping And Last Around 3 Months AFTER You Have Your Humi Seasoned Properly. I Would Be Afraid Of Using A Wet Paper Towel, Myself.

Would it? I saw it suggested somewhere for seasoning. I guess better be safe than sorry.

I always use a small bowl of distilled water. With a wet towel left in the humi, I'd lay it on a plastic baggie or something to avoid direct contact with the wood.
