I do not think it is possible to maintain humidity in a cabinet with a reasonable amount of beads unless you have a high end cabinet, and even those use active humidification.

It may not even be possible to maintain humidity in a wooden cabinet without somehow incorporating a vapor barrier and rubber seal on the door.

Recommend getting an active humidifier to use in the winter months.

I have another pound of Shilala beads on the way and guess I'll need to start checking on active humidification prices.

Would you please do me a favor and push on the side of your cabinet to see if it moves?

When I push on my cabinet and look at the upper left hand corner of my door, it will move up and down a good 1/4".

It seems to me that if the front is moving that much, then the back of the humi would be moving just as much and that couldn't be good for holding the RH.

Thanks and have a safe and happy new year guys.
