I have had numerous Gore-Tex lined products leak on me over the years. Gloves, boots, jackets, pullovers, you name it. When the material becomes saturated, water gets through. And even when the fabric itself performs like it’s supposed to, the seams become a weak spot and water seeps through.
No thank you to trusting Gore technology to keep my guitars humidified and yet dry. It’s much safer to keep the entire area properly humidified. |

I have not had a leakage issue. I have discovered that while they can be re-hydrated, once they are saturated the moisture cannot be removed.

Interesting. My pouches are not like the ones in the video. They seem to be made from soft cotton and don't appear waterproof at all. they don't have any seal in the top either, so even if they were waterproof, the liquid could just spill out of the top. I'm considering either just using the pouches sitting behind the headstock, restricting their use to my electric guitars, or reverting to a sponge system.

I have put some water in each of the pouches and they are actually waterproof. I didn't measure the amount of water but it was a similar amount to the amount of liquid in each sachet.
I have had them hanging up for 40 mins with no sign of leakage. I might leave them overnight and see what happens. Given that water is likely to leak through easier than the hydration fluid if all is good in the morning I will relax a bit. I took a pic but don't know how to add it I'm afraid. |
