Aroma De Cuba Humidor
So, I bought a humi from a herfer on here it's quiet beautiful. But when he shipped it to me FedEx dropped it and cracked a corner. So me and he worked out an agreeable deal after he and FedEx did their thing.
I tried fixing the humi by gluing the corner then did the seven day humidity test and it was at 50%. So not holding the humidity. When I first got the humi I emailed Savoy asking if they repair humis. To date not one peep its been a couple months. So, long story short anyone do humi repair? I am a woodworker but have limited experience with removing veneer. I have offered it to my high school teacher wife for her classroom to keep paper or pencils or whatever she wishes. Sucks to have such a beautiful humi go to waste. --Dan |

Assumed to repair the humi would have to take it apart. May be wrong. I can text you pics as I use photobucket and don't think I can post pics from there anymore.

Did you split a seam? Gluing and clamping should fix that no problem. I'm not too crazy about the lid seal. Seems like if it's leaky, it's there. Did you do the dollar bill test?
Taking it apart will cost more than the box is worth. Easy. Last edited by xrundog; 09-27-2017 at 12:52 PM. |
