Help, I overseasoned new Humi

Just sounds like what state in the title of the thread.

You cure mold and over humidification by eliminating the cause.
In this case, just remove the cause of the moisture and open the humi to air out.
Seasoning should not be rushed by wiping down the humi.
Let it take its natural several days course.

On a side note, if you actually ever do get mold growth on the inside of your humidor, remove the humidity source and let it dry out completely. Once dry you can take some fine grit sandpaper and gently remove the mold. I've done this in the past with remarkable success. Just remember to use a fine grit paper, sand as little as possible, and remove all sanded dabris.

Another thing is that if you are getting your humidity reading off of the analog hygrometer that probably came with the humidor, buy a digital hygrometer so that you get accurate readings. Heartfelt and Cigarmony are good sources for them. And, if you ever need to sand the inside of your humidor, wear a mask; Spanish Cedar dust is nasty to inhale.
