Im not sure I understand your question, so Ill explain the $$ test. Take a dollar out (crisp $100s work best for this, or you can use two $50 bills if thats all you have on hand )

Take the bill, and lay it flat so that, when closed, the lip of the humidor doesnt allow the portrait to show. Slide the bill out with the lid closed. If it offers resistance, then you have a decent seal, if it just slides right out, then youve got a gap.

You can repeat this all around the lip of the humidor to check for gaps.
