doesn't really seem to spike the humidity... but I don't think it fully charges the beads either... but this way they don't crack and split... so I figure they will last longer doing it this way.

An oldie, but the most-referenced scientific publication in the field. Government here runs on a cost-recovery basis so it isn't free. I bought it; can't really say it is worth the money, but it should be available in a University or museum library. https://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/bookstore/...ry-e.cfm?id=18

(Mind you, I just get out a spray bottle of distilled water.)
