How to seal a cabinet Humi???

[livwire68]

If there is any glass that may be the area of the leak. If you have already used weather stripping for the door then it sounds as if the problem is some where else you can always take into a dark room and put a flash light in it and see if it emits from another area. Its a humi and you are using beads, so you should be able to get in and out a few or more times a week and not be a problem. Is it new and did it get seasoned properly? Just some thoughts. By the way what is the avarage humidity in WA? Or your hygro may need to be salt tested, none of mine work, need to get some new digitals.

When I was scanning the New Posts list, I read this as "How to STEAL a cabinet humi".

Imagine my disappointment.

It does have glass in the door.

I have 4 digital hygrometers and all read very much the same when sitting side by side. When I spread them around the humidor I have found that the lower they are in the humi, the lower the RH, even though I have the beads spread around at different levels.

I bought the humidor used about 8 months ago. It is well seasoned.

As far as the humidity in Washington goes, it is a very green state with lots of rain, so the humidity is on the higher side, but, I heat my house with a wood burning stove which drops the humidity and this has sped up the humidity drop. When I'm not burning the stove, I need to add water every couple weeks, on average.

Another thing about the humi. The person I bought it from, kept another large and heavy humidor on top of this one, which made this humidor lean to the side a little. I have been able to straighten it out by placing shims between this humi and a large, heavy, bookshelf. This didn't seem to change how fast the humidity drops though.

I have another, smaller, (about a 300 count) humidor and a coolerdor. Both of these hold the humidity level very rock solid and I only add water every couple months.

I wouldn't be suprised if most of my leakage problem is around the glass in the door, but I might as well seal the seams inside the humidor at the same time if I can find a good and safe glue or chalk.

Anyone know where I can steal a humidor?
