Humidification Chamber made of Cedar Wood

size adjustable

A simple but effective design consisting of 2 identical L-shaped pieces with arms of 2 different lengths.
The 2 cedarwood pieces form the frame of a humidification chamber of adjustable size. The maximum internal area is 730 x 1110mm, outer dimension 795 x 1195 mm. The format of the chamber can be reduced by simply sliding the two parts together. A sheet of glass or Plexiglas (not included) can be used to form the lid of the chamber.
Applications:
for humidifying and expanding paper or parchment and for softening or regenerating adhesives and binding agents.
Method of use:
a frame of the required size is constructed from the 2 cedarwood pieces and placed on a smooth, waterproof base (table top). Blotting paper or capillary non-woven fabric is soaked in water and placed on the base in the chamber. A photographic tray filled with water can also be used. Above this is placed a support to avoid contact of the object with the water. A framed sieve on a support fulfils this function well. A hygrometer is placed in the chamber to check the humidity. Finally the chamber is closed with a glass or plexiglass lid.
External dimensions of the humidification chamber: 1200 x 800mm.
Glass sheet, sieve or non-woven fabric not included.
