While “enough” humidity won’t be a problem here in Tennessee for the next few months 
, I was wondering if it would be possible to leverage an air-tight plastic storage container and Boveda humidity packs to keep paper ready for coating. It’s an approach that a lot of folks use to create “tupperdors” for cigar storage, but I’ve not seen it applied this way.
Any thoughts/experience? My plan would be to make a rudimentary wooden carcass that would keep the plastic container upright on my desk, with a metal rod or dowel screwed-in through the back to serve as a rack. My notional workflow would be to hang a session’s-worth of paper overnight, close it up to let it come to equilibrium, then the next day have a coating session for the whole batch. Entirely possible this is a solution looking for a problem—I do have a small cool mist humidifier—but my hopes would be to work with a bit smaller footprint.
