After 24 hours Sham WOW and the sock produced positive results. To detect the presence of moisture in the sock and Sham WOW I put them inside a large clear mug. Turned the mug up side down in the microwave. Within 15 seconds, the inside of the mug was coated with condensation, steam. Left it in the microwave for another 30 seconds and the presence of moisture in the sock was very obvious. Did the same with a second sock and Sham Wow that was left inside my house. NO CONDENSATION and no moisture was produced after 45 seconds in the microwave. To prove where the moisture came from I'm conducting a second experiment. Made two cylinders using 4x20 inches of Sham WoW. Covered only one end with tape and made both of them weigh 16.8 grams. I taped the ends so only moisture can be absorbed from the open end. One was put inside the hydraulic fill plug opening and the other was placed on top of the transmission. After running the tractor at 1200 RPM's for 30 minutes, the hydraulis oil reached 72 degrees. Beginning temp was 45. The Sham Wow on the trany still weighed 16.8 grams. The Sham Wow inside the hydraulics gained .2 grams in just 30 minutes. I realize that .2 grams isn't much. It will be interesting to see how much moisture the cylinders collect in 24 hrs. I can confirm that Sham Wow and cotton will absorb moisture from the air.

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
