How long do you usually give for a ribbed soundboard panel to equalize
(assuming you haven't built one of Ron N's cool gauges)?

Yes, I monitor temperature and RH and use a chart to determine EMC. I =
use a
good hygrometer that has an accuracy within 2% RH - mine actually tested =
out
within 1/2% RH. http://www.pacer-ind.com/hygrometers/dh50.html

Not sure I understand how a thermostat would give you a sense of RH.  =
You
can have 80 degrees with 90% humidity or 80 degrees with 15% humidity.  =
If
you are talking about using a thermostat combined with a hygrometer and
checking a chart with the equivalent EMC, you are still dependent on the
accuracy of your hygrometer which are only accurate to +/- 5% anyway, =
no?

I find a thermostat to work just as well and easy as a fancy humidistat. =
I
use a thermostat designed for a reptile terrarium. Just use a temp/RH =
chart
along with it and it's a cinch. Cost is about $30.

I found this humidistat that I would use for a wood conditioning box =
that
seems to be fairly good but expensive ($290).  Anyone have any =
experience
with it or can you suggest one that works as well for less $$$.  It's =
the
RHC that I'm looking at-scroll down to the second unit. =20
