leaky humidor
 
A couple months back I was gifted a desktop that is nice looking, but the thing leaks like a sieve. It is glass topped and has three drawers on the front. It was given to me by a non cigar smoker, so they didn't really know what to look for. I'd like to seal it up so I can use it, but I'm not sure the best way to go about it.

Could I add a layer of duct tape to the edges of all the drawers to take up some space?

If it's not this one, it looks a hell of a lot like it.http://www.cheaphumidors.com/p_glass...s_HUM-3DR.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Very thin open cell foam or a layer of felt on double sided tape would be my choice instead of duct tape.

That humidor is known for such deceit. Looks great but functions like crap.

I would look for another humidor and use that one for a dry box.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I might try the felt thing and see if that helps. Looking at it, I thought the drawers were the most likely places as they don't really fit too well, but it may be the glass too.

I don't really need another humi right now. It's just sitting there taking up space, so I figured I'd see if I could fix it.
