Deleting posts is in VERY poor form. If you post something, you better mean it.


Crystals do NOT buffer humidity, they are saturated, and can only raise rh. The only way they could possibly absorb humidity is if they were completely dehydrated, in which case, they would do nothing for low rh.

They definately have their uses, I'll throw a drymistat tube into my desktop during the winter months, but in the summer, ambient rh here can run in the high 90's, dry beads do a pretty respectable job of controlling this.
