I keep my bead release upside down so the cap paper is always moist from the bead release inside.

I wind up with a lot less drying out that way.


As for humidity, the welders and garage shops often have desiccant in the lines of their air compressors and often trade the desiccant beads out with fresh stuff that gets dried out in their welding rod warming ovens. I think the ovens run about 180 degrees f to drive the moisture out of the coatings on the welding rods and also out of the desiccant.

Perhaps there is a need for input air dryers for oxycons using large buckets of desiccant?
