So of all your "stock" fits easily into the cooler?

Very interesting info.

I'm looking at trying to make it to Bailey's/shedherf next Thursday. I'll let you know--if so, I'd be happy to pick up your humi and give it a shot. I have plenty of silicone left over.

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.

Nice work!

Is there advantage to using fishtank silicone vs others?

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.
