water condensation in WTC

[scaleship]

Hey guys, I just made my own WTC tube, put it in the bathtub with warm water and saw some condensation inside the tube. Is this normal? There are no leaks. Is there any way to prevent the condensation?

If the air inside the WTC is colder than the "warm" water that would most likley explain the condensation or did you seal up the WTC in a damp humid room, e.g. the bathroom after filling the tub. Resulting in the the moist air reacting with the temperature of the surrounding water. But why use warm water & how much condensation are you talking a? A trick I picked up from an old rc submariner down here is to keep a supply of those silica granule satches that you get in things like vitamin pill bottles. Then just slip one in the dry spaces.

Those gell-packs: After a run, put them on a cookie sheet and bake at about 150-degree for an hour to chase the water out.
