Default Re: I'm having trouble getting Shilala beads calibrated

No, I said I refrigerated my beads and they went down to 45% immediately, then up to 67% overnight. Put them in the Edgestar and they humi was at 71% overnight.

I like your idea of the ziplock in the humi... I will try that.

I wouldn't say I'm unhappy with the beads... just frustrated. I know they are very highly regarded, so I will continue to try and work with them and give it some time....

You need to reduce the RH of your beads. Put them in the refrigerator, then when you take them out put them in a ziplock, and put the ziplock in your humi. That way you can determine the RH of the beads at the temperature of your humidor. Repeat until the beads are at your desired RH.

If you are unhappy with the beads return them and I will send you a refund.
