Bender Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 We generally pour and set our baits on glass to cure and cool for a day before packaging them and I have noticed that when the humidity is a little higher the ones on the glass seem to "sweat" water. Some are on the normal counter top and they don't seem to do it. Now I am running a dehumidifier in the shop but I am wondering why the glass makes them do that? And does it hurt anything?

nova Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've never used glass to cool the baits; I work on a stainless steel countertop and I've never had a "sweating" problem. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 sounds like if you have salt in them, the hot baits are drawing moisture from the air or surface. i use aluminum trays to cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 If you leave salted baits out in humid conditions they will absorb the moisture no matter the surface. It is disolving the salt and leeching out of the 'pore'. I store mine in covered rubbermaid containers while they cure or until I'm ready to put them in bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I agree with MDC...the only time I have plastic "sweat" is if it contains salt and if there is high humidity. Plastic without salt does not sweat. So keeping it out of the humidity would be the best solution, e.g. in an air conditioned space or in a container like he suggested.
