Did I **** up my Humidor?

Not trying to argue - Silicone sealant and Silicone adhesive are 2 different things, no?

Silicone adhesive is actually better if he's taken things apart. In humidor work, they're completely interchangable.
Yes, they're two different things, but not detrimental, except for the fact that he chose bright white caulking that'll dry bright white.
Latex caulking is a whole nother ballgame. It'd work fine in a humi, but it dries hard, shrinks and wears out over time, so it's not ideal unless you're painting over it.
I think what you're after/thinking of is 100% silicone. It's just a sealant. It peels right off, kinda.

Correct. BUT..... Silicone and Caulking are NOT the same!

How long has the stench been sealed into the humidor?

I put it on less than an hour ago, but instantly started to wonder what I had done. I don't have it shut, just so it can dry.

So, using what I've used, it'll be ok?

You can wash it all off with water, Smoke. Run water over it and use a toothbrush to scrub the rest out. Then go get the right stuff.

Yes, it'll be okay. Except it'll dry bright white and look retarded.
