Changing Humidity
I got a very nice cabinet Humidor from my dad a while back and I love it.
The only problem I am having is that it loses humidity in a matter of days. I put a light into the Humidor and closed it and I can see light coming through the space in between the two doors in the front. I have to keep re-wetting my beads every few days and I'm not sure what to do. Is there something I can put in there to seal the crack so that my humidity isnt escaping? Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is a good remedy for it. Thanks! |

Maybe a small bead of sillicone along the front where the doors meet the cabinet?

Will that seal the doors shut though?

Plain ole' peel-and-stick weather stripping from a hardware store should do the trick. Use along the entire opening edge.

I agree with the weatherstripping idea. That should do the trick.
