Are you using the analog hygro by any chance? If you are dump it and get a digital. Those dial gauges are almost worthless.

I would get some DampRid. I use it in my Aristocrat sometimes to bring the humidity down, here is S. Florida. Bob Staebell actually recommended it.

I agree that I would try this stuff.

The beads won't do a damn thing to lower the humidity. They never have and never will. It's a mistake to rely on them when the conditions are as you describe.

Use the Damp Rid to lower it and then the beads can help bring it back to where it should be.

I was under the impression that shilala bead's absorbed and released humidity.. Maybe you aren't using enough beads for your humi?

They do. They'll only do it in a controlled, sealed environment.
A pound of beads can't regulate the RH of the entire state of Texas.
You simply can't compensate for a leaking humidor, no matter how many beads, hydras or damprid you use.
Humidors are to be AIR TIGHT. Anything else isn't a humidor, it's just called a "problem".
Ziplock bags are a better solution than a humidor that leaks.
It's not hard to fix a leaky humidor. I just reworked a couple for longknocker last week. I fixed a couple for sofaman, too.
It's not difficult, and it's not expensive.

So it seems the problem is solved. Brotha needs to fix the humi

That's what it takes.
Or go to Wally and buy a 2 gallon rubbermaid for 10 bucks. They work great.
