Help with testing hydrometer and seasoning humidor

[badwhale]

I just want to clarify if I did this correct...I got a little dish, put i teaspoon of salt in it and added a little distilled water to make it into kind of a paste, then placed that mixture along with my hydrometer in a bag and waited 6 hours. Does that sound correct or do you have any changes to it?

I've heard you should double bag it and wait overnight. The rest sounds ok. The one time I did it, I used the cap to a water bottle, and packed it with salt, then made the paste as you described.
