Re: #19 ...

... you might not want to read it ... I was throwing that at Bloody ... LOL

LOL...be nice to Bloody. I hate it when he takes his marbles and leaves. Speaking of marbles. I read that post when it was fresh. Too late for me.

Time to shut down and go home. It is beer thirty. Have a good weekend all.

Hey Dave, you "make" humidity beads by the bucket? Are you talking cat litter? I thought the beads were some sort of engineering and scientific marvel. If they are not I am paying way too much for them.

Re: #22 ...

... I actually do like Bloody ... but we do pick on each other when the opportunity arises or presents itself ... just the way it has to be ... there can be only one ... LOL

LMAO!

Damn, I can't even horn in anymore.

Where's my marbles? Jimmy can keep his beads.

RE #23

Dave is talking about crystal gel, not beads.

BTW, the stuff Dave mixes up works really well. I have a small container of it in a humidor and while I don't have a hygrometer in there to tell what the exact RH is, I can say that I've never had a cigar come out of that humidor that was either too wet or too dry.

ah I went back and reread the post. Thx TG.

Do you have a recipe for mixing the gel? I would love to try my hand at it.

How long does it last & what kind of container do you use?

^ ... you talking about the beads, marbles, or the gel ???

"gel crystals" that Dave makes.

RE #28

Sorry, I don't know what recipe Dave uses or exactly which type of polymer crystal he starts with.

RE #29

The ones I have came in a small plastic spice container with a shaker screen and a removable screw top. Similar container to something like garlic salt would come in.

As for how long they last, the container I have has been working for well over a year, maybe even two years now, and there are no problems with it.
