Will Boveda over-humidify my instrument?

No. Unlike one-way humidifiers for instruments (snakes, sponges, etc.), Boveda will never over-humidify your instrument.

No matter how many packets you use, Boveda is specially formulated to maintain a stable humidity level between 40 and 60% relative humidity (RH), so it can’t over-humidify the instrument it’s protecting.

Using more than the recommended number of Boveda packets is advised:

  • In extremely dry environments (below 40% RH)
  • In extremely humid environments (above 60% RH)

Remember to ALWAYS use Boveda with a Boveda Holder in your instrument case.
