Humidor Expertise Requested

[dahrold]

A while ago I purchased a Scottsdale End Table Humidor from CI a la 'make me an offer'. Beautiful Humi, holds all my cigars and damn... it looks good.

I'm afraid that it failed the dollar bill test though. I have a unit that continually puts out moisture and helps keep the humidity around the level I would like. But it's not stable throughout the humidor and I'm afraid it could damage the cigars.

My question is - how can i seal this Humidor? Is there something i can put on the drawer or inside of the Humi that will create a seal that will pass the aforementioned dollar bill test?

I could just use the same type of seal that one uses on doors and windows but I would like to do this right...

This is my first post, I've spent time trolling the forums here and believe this is THE place to find an answer.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard of people using silicone, weather stripping, or masking tape strips to close gaps. It really depends on where the gap you need to close is. If you take some pictures I'm sure we can help you out.

Welcome to CS!

Concerning sealing, there is much OCD on this subject... Getting a drawer to seal completely is nearly impossible. You say the humidity stays in an acceptable range? It sounds like you're using an active humidifier, like an Oasis or Hydra? These should more than make up for any slight leak you may have. As for the consistency throughout the humidor, I would suggest picking up some Rh beads to place in trouble spots.

If the seal is REALLY bad, a strip of thin closed-cell rubber weatherstripping around the inside face of the drawer might help. (or wherever it may fit, hard to tell from those pictures).
