Dry air evaporates more moisture, moist air less. The humidifier covers the
bellows intake. I my case I used a 35mm film canister ring with a wick leading
into a brass tube water reservoir. This was capped with the top and treads
from a plastic bottle attached with a glue gun. The cap and side of cassette
was drilled to accept the wick..Window Screening covers splayed wick
on both sides, tacked with glue gun. I am available for personal comment
or abuse at

Use:
-dampen the loose end of the wick and the wick under protective screen
-fill water tube and place water tube over lose end of wick which is attached
to the black ring via the white cap
-place ring on air intake of bellows
-after use, empty water tube, recap and store in pipe case as a
humidifier.
