Spanish cedar can "Bleed" , what this actually means is that sap in the wood is coming out of the wood . I would suspect that the wood is bleeding and that it's not actually the glue coming through . You could try using a small cabinet scraper to remove the sap , or try using warm distilled water to remove the sap . Never wipe your humi down on the inside with any chemical products . If it is the glue coming through , the cedar would have to be very thin , about 1/16th of an inch or thinner , and the glue would still be wet to be able to come through which I doubt . Does it still smell like spanish cedar in the humidor ? If it does then your wood is bleeding the sap out . If it smells like glue then it's probably the glue .

I concur, I think it's natural resin.

I talked to my friend who made it just before getting online tonight and he said pretty much everything that you've just said. Its the spanish cedar bleeding out sap. So thats great news. DOesn't smell anything like glue, still smells very much like cedar.

So it looks like we've at least isolated what it is. Now to get rid of it. I'll try some warm water later this evening and see how it goes.

thanks for the replies!

Anything to help a BOTL . You may also be able to lightly sand out the sap .
