<DIV>And imagine all those boards that were ribbed in central and east =
North
America before AC in July - no doubt every one went together under the
strictest controlled ideal environmental conditions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my shop, even in the summer (Florida - ultra-high humidity), =
when I run
my AC unit in my shop I can run the RH in my shop down to about 35% RH. =
I have
monitored sample spruce pieces that were dried down to 6% MC that were =
exposed
to the shop environnment - in 24 hours the MC only goes =
up to
about 6.5%. So even if I take 8 hours to rib a board, I am able to keep =
panel MC
at a very constant level.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It just takes monitoring and sampling to get a real good feel for =
your
working conditions. I recommend it highly.</DIV>
