good move with the Current Lineup update, Was just about to do it. Very nice Puts and Takes.

Also for the Drymistat, careful not to oversaturate.

 

[wasch_24]

I use the Drimistat in my humi's. For those not familiar with the Drymistat there is a line labled "Fill to here with water" that is where you fill it to. If you over fill it just pour out the water, not the gel, until it is at that line.

Very nice job on the P&T's. :thumbs:

I did that with another drymistat, where I poured out the water and ever since then it did not work as well. I think it's because the PG is flushed out with the water. So moral here, fill less water, and once it's saturated meaning if you turn the tube around you do not see water splashing around, that should be fine.

I didn't mean pour all the water out exactly. Just enough to get it back down to the line.

Man, guys, I am sorry if the tup opening was my fault. The beads were all spilled out when I got it too but the tup was sealed securely.

I have been going over it in my mind and I may have overfilled it with the gift ones I put in and so it didn't burp properly. I guess I should have gotten a bigger box and reboxed the whole thing. Sorry.

Of course it could have been the USPS apes just throwing it around

 

[jacknife]

Don't worry Hudson, I'm sure everything is ok. Just to be safe I'll remove all those "gift ones" once I get the package!

 

[wasch_24]

No worries HudsonV. We shouldn't have the problem again. I wrapped velcro straps around the tup. so tight that you can't even pull the lid off by force. Although, unless everyone else is very precise in how the sticks are laid in the box, there really isn't much room left for any generous put's or gifts for the host. A new tup. may be in order soon.

:thumbs:


hopefully the drymistat is working fine. ANd don't worrty Hudson more often then not it's the USPS Apes, which is why proper packaging is vitally important.

 

[jacknife]

Package arrived today! :thumbs: The darn drymistat popped open so the beads were all over the place. I'll post my P&T later and have it off to psyktek on Monday.

 

[wasch_24]

That is some weird stuff with that Drymistat. The top is different than the one I have too. I am starting to think that the pressure change from the altitude in the plane during shipment is the culprit. Maybe we should just use some garden foam with PG in it from here on out.

there were 2 tops. One with holes in it, and one without. I put the ones without holes in it because I was afraid all the jostling might cause water to spill out. Maybe before you ship it out, rubber band or tape it shut?

 

[jacknife]

I'll probably put a different tube o beads in that is less prone to bust open. The current beads caused a bit of a mess, good thing all the sticks were in plastic bags.

 

[wasch_24]

I knew there was a reason I thought to do the individual baggie route for the non-celophaned sticks
