hey guys, sorry it took me a while to respond (i posted that and then ran off to work) also, sorry for posting in the wrong section :-)
the hygrometer im using is the cheap digital one from wal-mart
im have gotten about 3 degrees difference each test
im going to try double bagging it and see what happens, i may have had a little hole or something that gave my readings a percent error. thanks for all the suggestions and i will keep you posted, i look forward to contributing to the community and all the wonderful ideas i can pick up
thanks again
james.
