So - we know they don’t like it too damp, we know it also shouldn’t be too dry.... so anyone got any suggestions where it should be??? :)
 
NHBC many years ago recommended 12 - 15 Degrees when buying a new house to slowly dry out the house properly. So I would say 12 degrees !
 
Have my in a sodden shed. But I have it all insulated.
I run the dehumidifier every 3 days or so for a full day.
Helps from keeping the tools from rusting also.
 
It's a largely wood based product, ignoring the electronics, I would say the safest answer is 'constant whatever' rather than an ideal specific. Remove variation and you have the best luck.
 
Thanks all :)
Doing some additional digging, it seems humidity less than 40% isn’t recommended for the electronics, due to the increase in esd (electrostatic discharge)... so from an electronics perspective the best is 50-70RH... and from the above it seems that the best temp is between 12-15C....
 
12-15 wouldn’t be my comfortable playing temperature, so that would mean ramping up to 17-20 now and again - adding fluctuation.
