KL or any other dessicant works fine so long as it is odourless. Some people remove the blue crystals, I don't bother. I also just use ladies nylons to hold the beads, or even large, flat glass dishes.

KL for me, too.  Blue crystals have no adverse affect.  I maintain many small 100-150 count humidors with these, and even a 1,500 count cabinet (just KL, no active humidification device).  Perfect 65% all the time!

But you already knew that, Joewoowoo!

KL for me. Cheap, easy, and reliable. No brainer if you ask me

You use it right out of the bag or do you have to "train" it to hold 65%?

2-4mm polymers seem to work for many as well.

I use KL in desktops.

I tried the KL route. Did not work for me. I think it works a lot better at absorbing moisture than letting it out. My cabinet sat at 63% for a little while but is now at 56% and dropping. Spraying more distilled water did not help. Got 3 lbs of HF beads heading my way. Hope it saves the day...
