RH Question

Many use KL with success, but the problem is that they are not set to a specific Rh. This will lead to spikes in Rh as Adam said. KL works well if you live in an area with high humidity and can be used in the summer to absorb the extra moisture.

If there is a shop near you, try and pick up a few empty boxes to put your singles inside. The extra wood will help keep the Rh more stable.

Should I take the blue crystals out or leave them in? Also, do I lay the stockings with the beads in them directly on the wood or in a tupperware dish or something so it doesn't touch the wood directly?

You can leave them in until you get your Rh beads. I use a spray bottle to moisten my beads(only moisten about 2/3 of the beads), I just spray through the stockings. You can put them in a little plastic container with the lid off so they dont get the boxes wet.

I don't know if I can pay $50 for beads right now though. I guess this will have to do for now I hope I don't mess them up.

If you're using a Tupperware container for your beads, you really don't need a nylon. Simply lay the beads in the container (the most surface area possible the better) then moisten your beads as you wish. Without a nylon, it's easier to see what % of beads are moist/dry.
