Hi,
Here is couple of matters which have puzzled me for some time.
The negative impact of too much humidity is quite obvious but what about the opposite?
Some background:
I live in a cold country. During summer time we might have +25-35C (77-95F) for long periods at the time (or rain depending on luck) but during winter temperature is almost always well below freezing.
This means that all building is usually done in heated, well insulated space. Air might be very dry in these conditions. During winter relative humidy might be less than 20% inside.
What is your view on this? Is there negative impacts if the air humidity is very low? Can wood become too dry in normal room environment? If yes, what do you do to prevent this?
Another question: if you make parts like fuselage formers or wing ribs and you need to store them for long period before final assembly of the fuselage or wing itself - how do you make sure they wont twist out of shape? And do you do moisture seal (varnish) them after assembly, before storing?
Thank you for your advice.
Regards,
Toni
