Take the polyfill and spread it out on the palm of your hand, about a quarter inch thick. Then fold it over from left to right and gently roll it in the palms of your hands.

This is for the 2 top holes on your monotub only. On the bottom holes you want it as tight as fucking possible. For the bottom holes I just take a nice big clump and squeeze it as tight as I can while folding it up into a ball, then just push it against the hole and kind of spin it back and forth as I try to weasel it in. It should be so tight that it hurts your hand trying to do this

I don't buy this "as tight as possible" stuff. Your polyfill should be as loose as it can be while still maintaining 95+ RH. The key is to maximize fae while still maintaining high RH.

This will differ with different sub depths, different ambient RH's, different rooms, and possibly different substrates as some will more easily evaporate moisture.

Play with it until you find your own sweet spot.
