Thanks again to all of you. I drilled more holes in my tub a dor and I will allow the RH to drop. If it gets too low all I have to do is to tape upsome of the holes. I will let you know the results. Rob

Your so Full of Chit.....just because you did dumb **** doesn't mean everyone did. ( and typically cutting " too much " tends to cause unraveling NOT splitting!! )

I may be a newbie, only been at this for a few years, but I see that many of you are spending money on boveda packs ,beads, and other humidification devices; its a waste of money and very costly and makes absolutely no sense to me. Id rather spend that money on better quality sticks. I use the green flower foam. You can but htis at any Michaels stores or on ebay. You just cut it to fit your container and soak in distilled water as needed. I can control the RH by how much I cut off the block and how often I re-charge it. Its dirt cheap and a box of 20 blocks will last for years. I use it in my tubidor and I use it in my humidor. For a humidor, buy a crystal light drink with the oval throat and cut the foam to fit in it and the unit fits in your humidor perfectly. For my tubidor I hang a plastic tray from a dowel stick located at the very top of the tubidor and place a block of foam in it and it works perfectly. Surely I have apparently had the RH to high resulting in the splitting problem but that is easily fixed by taping off more holes until the desired RH level is reached.
Just my two cents worth. Rob

To king of the cove and Tonygraz..........Imagine a plastic tub with the lid on and a tray full of saturated green flower foam, the humidity is going rise dramatically. How high it rises will of course depend on how large the tub is,how large the foam block is and how many sticks you have stored. My tubidor is a 20 gallon roughneck tote. It holds approx. 400 sticks. and still allows room for the hanging basket of saturated grreen flower foam. The holes are drilled to allow you to regulate the RH. I have several 3/8" diameter holes drilled on the sides and on the top of the lid. If my RH is too high as everyone here has indicated, I simply remove tape off some of the holes until I reach the 65 desired RH. level. If all of my holes are untaped, then I could always drill more holes. Seasonal changes in the house temperature will affect the RH in the tub so here again you have the ability to lower or raise RH in the tub by either removing taped off holes or by adding more. Its quite simple and costs next to nothing to store/age your sticks without the heavy monthly costs of these humidification toys. Rob
