Boveda for Guitars: How to Choose & Use the Right Humidity Kit
Protect Your Guitar with Boveda 2-Way Humidity Control
How to Place Boveda in Your Case
Boveda slips into leak-resistant fabric holders. (Soft, like a polishing cloth to further protect your instrument.) The holders nestle in and/or around your instrument. Close the case, then Boveda takes it from there—adding or absorbing moisture automatically as needed all around your instrument.
It's easy! Follow these simple instructions:
1. Unwrap – Remove protective plastic
2. Insert – Slip into protective pouch
3. Install – Place in case—always keep case shut
