Re: Buy a damp meter
Got mine to-day, very good service. Right, stuck it in my arm, 32%. What am i supposed to read? I can see hours of Fun with this in different situations!
Going to check my Demountable soon, i hope it's as dry as i think it is?

Re: Buy a damp meter
At 32% though you are clearly breaking new ground on personal readings,
You might want to try a few house reading first, door & window frames then some furniture see just how dried out that is before scaring yourself on the camper,
search 'damp testing caravan/motorhome' for clues but essentially the lower or more zero the better anything over (I think) 20% is regarded as firewood

Wood burner enthusiasts sometimes buy one of these to tell them which biy of the wood pile is likely to burn the best
Re: Buy a damp meter
I've only just got in from work and was excited to try it out. I tried a wooden floorboard in the house and got 8%.
Thought i'd try my arm again, i think Zildjian is trying to tell me something, i've now got four small pin holes in my arm from earlier. Does Blood contain water? I think i pressed a bit to hard, Oh well.

Re: Buy a damp meter
I bought a two pin tester as I thought it would be easier to use. Do you think the four pin would be more accurate?

My four-pin one was cheap, but a bit big and clumsy. Don't think it is any more accurate than a neighbour's two pin one, but his one slips into his pocket muck more easily. Does absolute accuracy matter anyway? - if its damp its damp.
