Hygrometer nightmare

Do you have a good seal on your bag or tupperware when doing the salt test? I use a medium sized tupperware container and then throw that into a gallon or two gallon sized ziploc bag to ensure none of the humidity leaks out.

Take a very damp washcloth and wrap it around the hygrometer. Within an hour it should be reading above 95%, if not you got a problem and I would advise replacement. You can get one of the cheap WalMart hygros for as little as $7-8 or an adjustable one for about $25.
