I just got the boaphile rack system, (sweater boxes), and the temp is absolutely perfect at 90 in the back and 81 in the front in room temperature. I have a humidity that ranges between 75 and 88. That sounds like too much too me. SHould i put more holes in the front or more holes in the back. I like the temps and dont want to mess it up too much by letting heat escape because of too much ventilation. Any suggestions, thanx

A couple holes at each end will definitely lower your humidity. You will probably also find that it will raise your temps because air will escape through the holes at the cooler end allowing the warm air on the inside of the tub to move to the cool side. This will also pull warmer air from the hot side into the tub through the holes at the warm end. At least this is how it works with my racks that are heated down the back, but they are melamine and hold heat very well.
Before you burn a bunch of holes I would wait and get advice from someone who has a boaphile rack or contact Jeff.
