The reason I asked that is that I wonder how closely some folks watch the temp and RH of the environment they put their panel in. I've got my hot box going right now to calibrate a gauge I made. The temperature is 76 degrees F and 27% RH, which should yield a moisture content of about 5.8%. I guess the point is, depending on the room RH, it doesn't necessarily take much heat to get to where you want to go.

But I said it MIGHT, so I shouldn't be considered to be "the expert" on this subject. It was only my 2¢.
