: It's basic chemistry. You burn hydrocarbons and you get carbon
: dioxide and water. With unvented heaters, the water ends up in
: the space with the heat. You won't normally notice it since the
: increased temperature changes the amount of water that the air
: can hold but you can get a lot of condensation on cold surfaces
: (uninsulated exterior walls, for example).

Do you have a gauge to measure humidity? Please do a before and after test. I am concerned about the impact on the clear coating when epoxying.
I'll have to do some research on "unvented heaters" and its impact on humidity.
