I was glad to do it
hiya Gazoo!
You’re absolutely correct and thank you for mentioning that. The cheap temp gun I use is from Harbor Fart.
I run into this a lot in my furniture making where it’s easy to get hung up on tolerances. I invested in a Starrett 12” combination square several years ago and paid about $130 brand new. These are manufactured to much more strict tolerances than the ones they sell at your local big box store. My square isn’t the absolute best on the market, there are more precision instrument but the cost shoots skyward very fast.
I suppose what I’m saying is, environmental control can be very precise if you are willing to drop the coin. For me, I found it cheaper to control humidity because my humidity controller can control downy to plus or minus 1%. Then I shoot for 27-28C with lights on.
Of course, one of these days I’ll move into the house where it’s insulated and it would most likely be easier to keep the temps pegged at a certain temp and adjust the humidity instead.
Hope that helps!
