new humidor. will it leak? *pix*

That looks familiar...

Recieved a Thompson Cherrywood Classic humidor for Christmas from my folks. Couldn't get the damn thing to maintain RH above 61%.

What I ended up doing as a test was taking red colored Duck Duct Tape and putting it along the bottom edge of the baffle and on the inside of the corners. Within 8 hours it was keeping an RH of around 68%, highest it's been since seasoning.

I've read about using super-thin Spanish Cedar strips wedged into the corners and using a precision tool (i.e., medical syringe) to fill the gap around the cedar. I'm planning on testing this method out in the coming days. Everyone seems to have a favored method of fixing a humidor seal such as Clear Aquarium Sealant (food grade silicone) or building up masking tape on the baffle (which only seems to work on rising baffles [on the bottom of the humidor body] rather than a sinking baffle [one attached to the lid like we have on our humidors]).

Fiddle around with a few rolls of tape and a few tubes of sealant and you'll most likely get the results you're looking for... At least I hope so!
