Can not seem to get above 60%

[badwhale]

Hello, I am new to humidors and keeping cigars my wife recently got me some cuban cigars and a humidor. I had the humidor about 2 months before I found out how to season it and get the cigars ready. Now I have had the thing for a few weeks, I keep seasoning it with a wet cloth rubbed into the wood and then left in there for about 2 days, the humidity only ever gets just above 70 then when I remove the wet cloth from inside the humidor (which was sitting on plastic saran wrap) the humidity goes down to about 60% and stays there. I thought maybe the sponge wasn't working well enough so I also went out and bought a drymistat... Still 60%... I've repeated the process a few times, once leaving the wet cloth in for 5 days, same thing dropped to 60 as soon as I remove it. I have included pics of my setup, right now I have the drymystat, wet sponge and a shot glass of water in there to try to keep those nice cigars from drying out but still alas... 60%....

Anyone have any ideas?

This is much easier to read...

Um, well, search will tell you to ditch the analog hyGrometer, and switch to beads. At the very least, search for a salt test on that POS analog.
