				 Re: Shilala Beads 
 
			
			Zombifying this thread to ask a question & get opinions:
 I've had 8 oz of Shilala beads in my glasstop for a long time.  After resealing the humi last year, it's maintained 62% pretty solidly year round.
 
 Haven't had a cigar from there in about 10 days, but when I passed by this morning I took a peek at the hygrometer and it read 67dg/50%.  50%??!?! The temp is correct, so I'm not thinking it's the batteries.  I'll do a recalibration this weekend, meanwhile can anyone explain that significant of a drop in humidity?  If the beads need recharging, will they gradually lose their moisture or can it be that precipitous?
 
 Thanks for your thoughts!
