I design and build my own incubators.

Welcome to BYC!
Can you share a few photos of your build?

This one I built 11 years ago it was my first one that made here in Oklahoma it has never had a drop of water added to it

That all sounds really impressive, but how do you prevent shrinkwrapping?

If someone is a little doubtful at first, I think that's understandable. Pretty much everywhere you see discussion about shrinkwrapping, it's said to be because of the humidity being too low. People have shrinkwrapping problems, raise their humidity, and have no more shrinkwrapping problems. And it's not exactly going to be dry underneath a hen. So, I have to admit, I'm wondering how that works. Are the eggs sitting on something really damp?

To be very clear: I'm saying "You're doing a thing in pretty much the opposite way of how it's supposed to be done. You say it's working. I'm curious how."

Well first off I am running at a lower temp then everyone my incubators are producing an indirect heat that is not water based and my incubators are always dry from start to finish !
