Pushing the Seasoning

I'm guessing that your Boveda packs are still absorbing moisture from your sponge, preventing your RH from climbing higher. With them so dry, they will absorb moisture below 84%. If you use only the sponge method, you should see better seasoning results; then switch to beads. Good luck!

Removed the Bovedas, put in a DW Sponge and a dish of DW (no more sponges). Humidity already rising.

How many (much) Heartfelt beads would you use for a 2.6 cubic foot Newair? Is there a "best" container for them?
