Thank you for making this thread. I wanted to, but I am too lazy. I hate throwing paint away, and I have some 0-bounce Big Ball from late last year. I've read about Tom's glass of water, and the GAP dip. It's good to hear that it works

I like the wet hand method, seems to be way faster and it ad's MORE humidity to paint than the cup of water solution. In humid places the cup of water might work better, but in dry CA.. we need a bit more humidity.

I tumbled the paint in a zip lock bag that I filled with some hair for a few minutes and then let all the air out and zipped it up.

I have to say, I don't know how adding "hair" to the bag helps the shell in any way.

actually a cup of water will stabilize the humidity based on the temperature. how humid it is outside has no bearing as long as you close up the bag nice and tight. in fact in a more arid climate the cup of water will make MORE of a difference. using the salt paste solution that tk suggested in the second thread, there's a bigger difference between 22% humidity and 75% than there is between 45% and 75%.
