purchesed a digital hygrometer box says accurate +-1%
i did the salt test, was in the bag for longer than26 hours and it has only gotten up to 71%.
question is do i leave it alone and add 3% to read it, take it back as defective, or do the test again
thanks rodney

ps: it is a flukers model if that makes a diffrence
