Re: Humidor humidity
Patience is key, it could take a week or more to stabilize. Try drying your beads again (they have probably soaked up as much as they can) and/or you can just leave your humidor open for a several hours, several times a day to let the humidor dry out a bit.
Test the hygro!

Re: Humidor humidity
open the humidor for about 30 minutes, close and then let it stabilize for a couple hours. Check the humidity, repeat.
If the beads are full (clear), then they will give up moisture below their set level. Dropping the humidity below the bead set level while the beads are full is fine, since they will compensate. Getting the humidor up to 85% may lead to some warping, watch for this.

Re: Humidor humidity
I did the salt test and calibrated the hygrometer. I still see a lot of white in the beads so they don't seem to be full. I will air it out some and wait a few more days to see if the humidity goes down. I guess I need to be more patient. Thanks
