Evolving Lead Gorilla
Last week I broke down and purchased a 28qt ("that's all I'll need, honey...really...I swear....") Coleman cooler to handle the overflow from my 100ct humi. Heartfelt beads are sitting in an old nylon stocking in the humi, but they're kind of bunched up in the corner. Instead of using a mesh bag in the cooler, I wanted a means of increasing the surface area of the beads, so I created a "Bead Pillow". It took me one robusto session (about an hour fifteen:ss) to make and cost less than $3.
Pick up some #10 plastic canvas (the mesh is small enough to keep the beads from falling through,) a needle and some heavy-duty thread. Craft stores carry all this material.
Cut the canvas in half, then (over a beer and a cigar,) stitch the two halves together as manly as you can:
Leave a pouch on one side
so that you can pour in the appropriate amount of beads:
I'm using 4 oz of 70% RH for the 28qt cooler. This particular pillow could probably easily hold up to 8 oz.
Tie off the stitching and shake out any bead particles.
You can then spray the beads directly through the canvas and since the canvas is heavy duty plastic, it can stand upright along the side of the cooler.
