Roger Hare Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have been using this excellent Humidifier (Humistat #1), etc... A belated follow-up to this post. Does any reader of this forum know of a supplier of these gadgets in the U.K? A quick trawl of Amazon has failed to uncover one. Thanks.

Tradewinds Ted Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 From the makers website linked earlier in the thread, they do ship internationally for an additional $6.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Franch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Note that the Humistats require distilled water. I think I might have clogged one by using regular water. I ordered and have two more, but I've ended up using something that a c.net member suggested. I use a camera bag for my concertina, so there's a bit of extra room in there. I've taken four of the little plastic containers I get prescription medicine in, but some absorbent material in them (some I used cloth, some I used paper). I had initially drilled holes in the caps, but I don't use the caps any longer. I wet the absorbent material, drain out the excess, and put them in the bag, which I zip tightly. The excellent little humidity gauge I bought with my Humistats shows that the humidity runs 40-50 percent, even if the room humidity is much lower. I do have to be careful to keep things upright, of course, and I am careful not to have excess water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. >I've taken four of the little plastic containers I get prescription medicine in, but some absorbent material in them, etc... Hm! I think I might give this a go. I have loads of old plastic 35mm roll-film canisters (remember 'film' cameras anyone?). I think a little tightly rolled and moistened muslin inside the canister, and a couple of holes in the lid might lead to an acceptable substitute device. We shall see... Thank you.
