I’ve seen a lot of opinions and recommendations around lowering humidity for a top before bracing. Just wondering what the full conversation is around this topic? There seem to be proponents and detractors, differing ideas of the ideal humidity, and considerations of where/when you’re building. I’m guessing there’s not a definitive answer to this, but I’m looking to understand the arguments and viewpoints on both sides so I can at least be informed on the topic.
