Subject: Wolfcraft Biscuits too thick for slots cut by Ryobi Biscuit joiner

Heck, after finally concluding that I'd keep the newly purchased Ryobi,
I found tonight the hard way that the biscuits that came with the tool
were considerably thinner than the bulk packs of a hundred or so made by
Wolfcraft.

Question: are Woldcrafts' biscuits standard size or rather thick. I.e.,
are the included biscuits supplied by Ryobi substandard thickness? Who
is not living up to specs?!!!
Thanks,

I don't know specifically about Woldcraft's biscuits, but I have found that
if I leave any biscuit container open for long on a mildly humid day, many of 
the biscuits will be too tight to use the next day.  They wick up the
moisture and swell.

BAKE YOUR BISCUITS!  That's right, when they swell up due to humidity, put
them on a cookie sheet and plop 'em in the oven at 200deg or so for about
15-20 minutes.  Shrinks them back to proper size to fit in the slots. 
Living in Houston (humid!!!) I do this all the time.

I find there is a difference between brands. If you can get Lamello's
biscuits, do it. They are much better quality and more consistant than
Porter-Cable, or Freuds biscuits.

I microwave my biscuits and they shrink back to normal size!
