Do Heartfelt beads dry out?

[ColdCuts]

I've been misting mine with distilled water for years. I like doing things according to manufacturers instructions, generally. I guess I just don't have the patience to seal my beads in a Ziploc with a saturated sponge for who knows how long. Perhaps a few of the beads do break when I mist 'em. I can't be certain.

I have been misting mine for years and I thought that was the in the intructions back in '08.

Most of the time I'm too lazy to dig out the bags of beads, so I just mist the Vinotemp door a few times before closing. If the bags are handy, I mist them directly. No issues in 7 years.

Nothing lazy about that, Bob. It's smart. But you know what you're doing.
You catch on to what you can and can't do after lots of years.

Interesting. Never thought of just spraying a little moisture in there every now and then.

I seem to have gotten them under control. A little too moist actually, but it'll all work out. I just don't freak out about it like I used to.
