will this cause mold or the case to smell musty? I have a soft shell case. something about moisture in a closed off dark area.

It probably depends on the humidity of the area you live in...there's nothing magnetic about a soft case that will absorb moisture more so than a thirsty acoustic wooden guitar. That said a soft case is more porous than a wooden or plastic case unless, of course, the case inner lining is resistant to absorbing moisture. Try it for a few weeks to see what happens but place the humid pak inside or as close to the guitar as possible. And... Until you're sure, don't take your prized possession in its case out in the rain or snow! Or, get an inexpensive harder case.

So, far I have not had any problems with moisture, or mold. And we get pretty good winters. I used the underlsyment for my hsrdwood gloors which was all throughout the house. Hope this helped in your decision.

You want to wash/rinse it out well after use, wring it out but leave it damp to store it. There should be instructions that come with it but if you clean it first it doesn't get moldy/mildewy.

After I installed it, it had the new rubber bellows smell, over time this will leave, you need to keep the bellows clean and dry after using, this will prevent the mold smell from forming.

No it does not. I don't really know where that person got that from, but my case doesn't stink at all. �

It would definitely smell but it is not a chemical smell but a fresh minty scent but still strong nevertheless. The strong smell lasts about 4-6 hours then wanes but it was not offensive for me nor my kids. It did not discolor any of the materials I sprayed on which includes cotton (it spilled on my clothes when it was in my luggage) , vinyl, wood, paint. I don't know what your case is made of.

I have never experienced this but everyone has their own sent of smell. There should be dessicant packs in the bottle to help with moisture which would probably bring out the smell more.

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

I have not noticed any smell at all. The case doesn't close all the way when the handles are up but that is not anIssue for me.

It will soften the glue and I suggest scraping off as much as you can when it has softened. The problem is that this product contains acetone/toluene which will also soften the plastic case. If it's a clear case it will cause the case to become cloudy. On colored plastics, it may change the color (usually to a lighter shade). Any cloth or paper wipe will stick to the glue and case.

How do you know it's only 30%? You don't want it too humid or things will warp and mold will start forming. It's very possible that you have very dry air, and may need a bigger humidifier, or two of them, depending on the room size. I live in the desert and have those challenges. Plus my room is very large. It works better in the kids' rooms.

Hi, thank you for your query. This tester has not yet a proper casing. We are contacting a local mold factory to see if it is possible to get a casing ready for it. With kind regards, Kevin

I didn't notice any strong smell when we received ours. We've had it for a couple of months and there is no smell now. We bought the green color, for our 10 year old daughter. It's a great case, very good for kids.

I had some left over last year, and kept them in a thicker zip top bag... they were still fine (soft and squishy) this year when I got them out to use. I wouldn't add any moisture, as what was in there seemed sufficient. I was concerned about mold, but didn't seem to have an issue with it.

Mine is indoors. However it has developed a few small areas of mold inside, which can be removed with a dilute vinegar solution (5 tbsp to pint of water). I would think that this might be more of a problem in a high humidity environment. You might use a bucket(s) of dehumidifying crystals to reduce the humidity.
