  • Prevents warping and mildew build-up
  • Curbs humidity fluctuations that throw off an instrument's measured alignment and cause permanent damage (think going in and out of air-conditioned venues, traveling by air, performing outdoors, etc.)

Information

HOW TO USE:

  1. Remove Boveda's plastic wrapper. (Do not open the Boveda itself.)
  2. Just slip unwrapped Boveda into the pouch(es) of its protective fabric holder. Place in case and close the lid. Always keep your case closed when using Boveda.

    Always insert Boveda into a pouch of a Boveda Fabric Holder before placing in an instrument case. The fabric holder allows Boveda to last longer and work better and acts as a liquid barrier if a packet is accidentally punctured.

DON'T:

  • Mix Boveda 49% RH High-Absorbency and Boveda 49% RH or different Boveda RH levels within the same instrument case
  • Use Boveda in the same case with other humidification products because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda

  • To refill a Boveda Directional Fabric Holder: Use one (1) Boveda High-Absorbency 49%
  • To refill a Boveda Single Fabric Holder: Use one (1) Boveda High-Absorbency 49%
  • To refill a Boveda Double Fabric Holder: Use two (2) Boveda High-Absorbency 49%

REPLACE BOVEDA:
