I'm just about to this point. I have a glass-top that was fine for a year, then within the last couple of months, would not hold RH. It passed the dollar bill and lid drop tests. I ran a bead of silicone around the inside of the glass and also around the analog hygro, let it air out for a couple of weeks, then re-seasoned. In addition to finding any leaks, I'm thinking this method might help get the cedar to max saturation. Right now it seems really dry, even after several days of seasoning.
