How big a piece of foam would I need to place in a shoe box size "tupperdor".

Thanks...

The same size that you would use in a humidor of those approximate dimensions ...

I've got a box slightly larger than that and have a small tupper type container holding about a 2-1/2" cube of foam that works well for me ...

I've searched the forums for wet foam...haven't found a case of what I'm looking for...

Picked up a brick the other night but just noticed the packaging says it contains floral perservatives. Anyone know if this would present any kind of a problem?

I have a piece the size of a slice of bread in a 70 quart cooler. Well, times two coolers and slices that is.

CG ENG- thats pretty small.. depending on the climate try this..

Get an Altiods can (mints right?) take off the lid..

Cut your foam the height of the can but a little larger lenght and width.. use the can like a cookie cutter and press it down ito the foam.. you will have a perfect little humidifier for about 15 cents minus

cost of the mints of course..

Has worked great for me..

I believe the name of the Florist foam that you're looking for is OASIS. Call any florist or garden supply place and ask for OASIS, they should be able to supply you.

I've used oasis... when you start to "expand operations" (and you will) get Climmax beads. They're more expensive than Oasis and solution, but they perform better IMHO, and they're much handier. I am near Chicago where the winter is DRY and the summer is humid. They work great here. A capful of distilled water every 7 - 10 days is all I need for the dry season. For the humid season, I still supply the H2O because of the air conditioning, but not as often. Just don't drop 'em. Then they're not so handy! Lol!
