Maybe you should try a different color.

Like green.

Or silver...... as in the aluminum tape you seal ducting joints with (not duct tape).

I'd be concerned about the adhesive used on the metalized sealing tape adversely affecting the humidor and/or it's contents. Last roll of that stuff I bought came with a few toxicity warnings.

Fair enough, I have no idea what they use in either the adhesive or the bindings of those tapes. However they'd certainly give the more airtight seal if they are safe for use in this kind of application.
