Bobby.. .


Beads aren't supposed to be soaked like that buddy, it's bad for them.

Neither is mold...

Right, but you can crack the beads Bobby......read the manufacturers guidelines on wetting them, there's a reason they advise NOT TO SOAK THEM.

But hey, you probably took Chem104 so what do they know about their products.

You are right about that but once you've crossed the mold line I think it is worth a little cracking...but that's just me.

Yes bite your nose to spite your face, they won't work very well after that buddy.

Cracked beads!! 😱 

Sigh...you are correct that some will crack but mine have worked fine afterward. I'm sure that it has has had an impact on their efficacy but I haven't been able to discern it because I overload my humidor with them so the effected tray is just one of four. Speaking of which I actually need to replace them according to the manufacturer...they are supposedly beyond their shelf life now.
