IIRC This stuff only needs to be brought to room temperature as it does
not absorb moisture like wood does.

They say 48 hours of acclimation. The guy I bought it from (independent guy with 2 store fronts in MA and
2 in NY) said you really don't have to wait that long. In my case, by the time I prepped the rooms and let
SWMBO pick the boards for the layout she wanted, the stuff was in the house for more than 48 hours anyway.

Sank heaven for leetle curls.
