Humidity of the Tower?

Post by rubikscubeviolin »

After building a tower to test, I usually let the glue dry, then store it in a sealable box with silica gel pouches and a hygrometer (tool that measures humidity). I've never really thought about what percent the humidity should be at, but now I'm wondering if there's downsides if the humidity is too high or too low.

What is the ideal range for the humidity I'm storing my tower in? Should it be in the mid-30s? Is a humidity of around 15% good for the tower or does the wood get weaker?

Thanks!!

Also, if its too humid its going to be too much weight but if it is very very dry, it could be brittle. Though, I have not heard of anyone getting their tower or bridge becoming so dry to the point where the wood became brittle and it hurt performance.
