the sensor on mine is on the back side. i made another last night.
just went and looked. one is ready 62% and the other is 66%. mine are working fine and jars even seem to be pretty airtight.

jars appear to be losing a bit of the humidity, so i am going to glue the meters in.
made 2 more tonight. a brand new sharp razor blade is the cleanest method of cutting the lids.

I've come to the conclusion that mini hygrometers made by China are a joke to begin with.
I have an Integra packet of 62% in the jar. After hours, the inside mini hygrometer is reading 54% and the mini hygrometer stuck in the lid reads 51%.
Useless toys. Only cost me $5 for three of them.

here's mine about 2-3 years old now
I got the gauge local and simply inserted into the Chinese cookie jar lid
is junky as but works well
flip open the back to re trim the gauge
I avoid glue as it will impart an after taste
that won't go well with my organic weed ..lol
good luck
ps bic is for scale

flip open the back to re trim the gauge find the tiny screw...
set the expensive hydro gauge next to the cheap ass
correct the dif with the screw
otherwize like ur prev post is always wrong ...
none say to do this

In most cases inserting a gauge into a plastic lid
can be easy done re ur prev post with drill and knife = easy
if glue is required cause you misjudged the insert size
a glue suitable for plastic maybe required
most plastic glues have some chem that stinks to fuck
as these chem glues dry by evaporation it may be several days before the stink is gone
its called outgassing..?

The fumes from CA (super glue) are a vaporized form of the cyanoacrylate monomer that irritate sensitive membranes in the eyes, nose, and throat. They are immediately polymerized by the moisture in the membranes and become inert. These risks can be minimized by using CA in well ventilated areas. About 5% of the population can become sensitized to CA fumes after repeated exposure, resulting in flu-like symptoms.[24] CA may also be a skin irritant, causing an allergic skin reaction. The ACGIH assign a Threshold Limit Value exposure limit of 200 parts per billion. On rare occasions, inhalation may trigger asthma. There is no singular measurement of toxicity for all cyanoacrylate adhesives because of the large number of adhesives that contain various cyanoacrylate formulations.

My favorite way to cut a hole in plastic is to break just the tip off a #11 X-Acto knife blade and use the back side as a sort of graver using a metal straightedge as a guide- you'll have to make several passes until you break through the plastic. I'm a master jeweler btw

Because after the glue cures it should be relatively benign unless you eat it or smoke it lol
Lol theres lots more nasty stuff in the materials of your home.
Just saying. .... and yes i know you dont smoke your wall paint
Or the silicones and other sealants used in construction.

If i where going to cut more then 5
I would make a jig out of metal
And just use a drywall cutting roto zip bit
thought about doing that. wood jig and dremel drill style cutting bit.
however, the plastic lids i bought are a little fragile if you stress them.
this is what works best. a couple score marks and it starts to go through

Most mini hygrometers are set at the factory and can't be adjusted by taking it apart. As for the round ones that have an adjustment knob, 17% of Amazon buyers of that item said its junk (won't calibrate). My cheapo square ones aren't reading correctly at all now. 62% Boost packet inside jar, mini hygrometer inside jar and it reads 53% overnight. You'd probably get one in a hundred made that read correctly over time. And if they initially DO read correctly like mine did, that accuracy won't last.

its true I screwed some of the earlier cookie jar lids maybe 2 ?
but returned this time armed with the knowledge to get soft ...even flexible lids
that can cut with a boxcutter or razor above
in reflection I suppose the easiest safest glue would be Latex
the organic tree sap from the rubber tree used as carpet glue
if you don't mind the slight oder of Ammonia ..?
lol

Accuracy of my junky mini hygrometers..to me is acceptable within 10-15% ..12% being the most predominant? popular even
the real deal is the liltle batteries cost a damm bomb here
I've even tried to hook up other batteries
to the pisstake of my buddies... grimmm!
