I may be able to help you out, Emjay. I got all but the silicone and some mad skillz. Next time we get together, bring it along and we'll have a go at it.

I got pre-occupied so it's still empty! Maybe I'll do something about that this afternoon. But the RH hasn't changed in a week.

Oops, I think I over corrected...

Finally moved some of my stock back in from the cooler last night, and the humidity promptly settled in at a balmy 74%. I put my bag of shilala beads in the cooler and will let the humi sit without humidification for the day to see what happens.

But I think it's safe to say that I fixed the leakage.

Great Job! I did a similiar re-furb on some "fake" ebay Humidors a while back that included replacing plastic with glass and lining the entire inside with cedar.

Is there advantage to using fishtank silicone vs others?

dwoodward · 04-13-2011, 07:19 PM

Mostly because it dries odorless. I figured if it doesn't harm fish at 100% humidity, it ought to be good enough for the cigars.

Well done, Gerard!!!
