After researching all the humidifier options and even going so far to get all the supplies to create my own humidifiers using the water pellets:
http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?39854-Video-Instructions-for-Making-DIY-Case-Humidifiers-from-Empty-Glitter-Tubes&highlight=humidifier
I discover that my cabinet is running on the humid side at a 70% humidity level.
I haven't weather stripped or or sealed it yet so this is the basic humidity of the basement where the cabinet stands.
So questions to the experts - If my cabinet is sitting around 70% after sealed should I consider dehumidifying options to get it to the 50-60% range? If 70% isn't too high is there a point where I should start taking dehumidifying actions? I understand I should also be concerned with humidity fluctuations, Is there a max fluctuation range I should be concerned with eg. 50-70 ok but 45-80 too much?
I'm up in northern california and the cabinet is in a basement so the temperature is pretty moderate and I thought the humidity was also but was surprised by the 70% reading. I'll be monitoring the humidity regularly now to get a better idea what I'm dealing with down there.
