HUMIDIPAK™

QUICK START GUIDE

Humidipak Restore is for an instrument or hard-shell (wooden) guitar

case in a known dry or un-humidified state. Follow these six simple steps

to safely rehydrate your instrument:

Open the outer packaging of your Restore Humidipak packets.

Insert one in each side of the saddle pouch and one in the headstock pouch

included with this kit. Be careful never to puncture a Humidipak packet.

If a puncture occurs, discard the packet(s).

If your instrument is a flat top guitar with a normal soundhole, insert the saddle

bag over the 3rd and 4th strings and allow the packets to hang inside the body

of the guitar. If you are using Humidipak with other instrument types, find a

space in your instrument case that will safely accommodate the packets. Never

put them in a position where they are under pressure, or where strings or tools

can puncture the carrier bags or packets themselves.

Place the headstock pouch under the headstock in your case.

Keep your instrument in its case with the lid securely fastened for 2-3 weeks.

It is highly recommended to use a good hygrometer such as D’Addario’s Humidity

& Temperature Sensor (PW-HTS) or our Bluetooth-enabled Humiditrak device

(PW-HTK-01) and mobile application (humiditrak.com) to monitor the progress.

When playing the instrument, store the active Humidipaks in the closed case

or in a resealable bag.

Once your instrument has reached a safe Relative Humidity level (40 to 60%

RH), remove the Restore packets and replace with Humiditrak Maintain

packets (PW-HPRP-03) for everyday care. If your instrument reaches the proper

humidity level before the Restore packets are depleted of their contents, place

packets in a resealable bag for future use if needed.
