The glassine envelopes don't absorb much water so that's why they are so useful in keeping the semp seed dry. You might check Office Depot or a stamp dealer as the stamps are almost always put in them. They keep the stamps dry and clean.
Anyway, I'm glad I can help you with the baby steps and maybe some major steps. remember you had never made crosses or raised your seedlings from crosses until this year. I had a 49 year head start!
