If it's a new humi the sticks will soak up the humidity, you need the cedar to become saturated (no wiping down the wood, could warp) gradually with the distiller water, once the cedar is saturated and holding humidity then add sticks, humidity will fall at first because of the sticks but will come back up.

This is what I used to seal my glass up.
http://www.permatex.com/products/Aut...ass_Sealer.htm low/no odor. It's slightly more runny then regular silicone so it is able to flow into the crack between the wood and glass to make for a good seal. It's not so runny that it goes everywhere and makes a big mess though. I ran a small bead around the inside of the humidor and let it sit over night. The key to making it work and look nice is just cutting a small hole in the nozzle, take your time and try to have a steady hand. This stuff worked great for me. |

After using the search tool and reading up on some of the help given by people, I am still having some troubles. I'm sure I could have looked more but it is what it is. I live in Iowa, so it is the middle of winter here. I have 65% rh beads and I have about 15 cigars in a glasstop (I know) 50 count humidor. I can't get the rh above 60 or 61. I did a salt test before even seasoning my humidor and it was at 72 so I calibrated it to 75. Then, a week later I did a "towel test" and it was at 98% which is where it was supposed to be. So the hygrometer is fine. Any suggestions? I know this has been answered, but it is a little different for everyone imho.

And if it is still at 60-61, ask yourself "how are the cigars smoking?" If you are happy with the cigars, don't sweat a few percentage points. ![]()

Nothing to be sorry about. Just some pointers that will help you alot along the way here. This place is full of great and helpful people but some input and effort from newbies required. standard forum etiquette. (And I'm still a newb too) just trying to give the "in a nut shell" reply.
