Sealing a Humidor

Assuming it's bone dry, why not re-season it first and see if the wood swells at all and if the fit is tighter. Recently someone here suggested wiping the seal area with a bit distilled water as well although I've never tried that. Is the humi lined with Spanish cedar? If not, maybe you could line the box with Span. cedar and create a lip that might seal better?

Prolly find a nice self-adhesive gasket strip at mcmaster.com .

I've tried to put some distilled water around the edge and lip. Forgot if it really did anything or not. But I think I do have a slow leak. Pretty sure I got it under control though.

I wouldn't recommend wiping water on the cedar it could cause more problems. I would try to season it and then see what it does.
