higher level of humidity (was: glue on bridge pins.)

[Ed Sutton]

Don-

The humidistat will respond sooner when it is closer to the system element.  To
create higher humidity, put it closer to the heating rod, further from the tank,
so the rod runs shorter and the tank runs longer.  For lower humidity, put it
further from the rods and closer to the tank.

You could run a strip of velco along a beam or rim, and adjust the humidity by
moving the humidistat.

It is a "pulsing" system, so the humidity will always be highest near the tank,
and lowest near the rods.  I don't see what problem could occur by taking
advantage of this to produce the higher humidity you want.  If wrong, I will
surely be corrected!
