Default Re: Humidor Problem

A thin bead of aquarium silicone or something with low fumes would work great around the edges of the plexiglass front, just to be sure it's got a good seal.

On that subject tho, there are tons of threads on how to seal up a humidor.

Shilala had an amazing one last year where he sealed up a leaky humidor to the point it could hold water.

Search around these forums, the threads are everywhere. (I'd look myself if I wasn't out to door to run errands before work in 2 minutes lol)

The main thing here, Terry, is that when you seal the seams, with even low odor silicon (which seems to be the preferred method), you need to leave the humidor open for several days to let the odor completely dissipate. This means putting your cigars somewhere else for several days while you do this. Might be a good time to re-season the humidifier while you are at it! (after leaving it open for several days to let the silicon odor go away, it will probably need re-seasoning anyway.)
