    1) No it won't get moldy
    2) Go buy some 65% humidity beads from Heartfelt Industries at Humidity Beads

    Now get the 1/2 lb - 1 lb. bag and you'll be set to go.

    The advantage to using PG ( propylene glycol ) solution instead of just straight distilled water is two part:

    1.) The PG solution automatically helps stabilize the humidity at 70%
    2.) The PG solution acts as a mold and bacteria inhibitor in the puck foam


    It does not prevent mold in your humidor if you are keeping the humidor environment over humidified.


    As others have suggested, if you are seriously considering making a long term investment in this hobby, save yourself a lot of hassles and purchase beads.
