Hey Gents,
I bought a Humidor from Cuban Crafters (see pic below) a little over a year ago. I PCS'd to a new duty station and due to uncontrollable circumstances i was not able to monitor my humi, so it dried out completely.
I was having a tough time re-seasoning it and after observing the RH level slowly decreasing, i decided to do a light test after reading some threads on here. i've discovered a minuet amount of light seeping from the left side of the lid. As well as the lid having a 'loose' fit feel when closing it. i also tried the dollar bill test and I'm not satisfied with the results.
My humidor is a aesthetically very pleasing to me and i would hate to ditch it. I've been looking into buying some weather sealing strips (see below), but im not entirely sure where to apply it? hopefully someone with experience cause shoot me some guidance. Also if anyone has any other :2 to add, that'd be great.
By the way im using two digital Hydrometers. However they are acting a bit odd. i salt tested both of them. one of them is adjustable, the other is not. i adjusted the one to 75% and accounted the difference of the other (-3 from 75%). Now when they are in the humidor, they read anywhere from 6-10% difference of each other. for instance one reads 69% and the other 61%. im thrown for a loop cause they were bumping during the salt test.
Im a n00b for sure here gents, you're my only hope. Im stationed overseas and taking it in for any kind of service or replacement is out of the question at this point.
edit: oh, any my Heartfelt beads are drying out very quickly as well. within a week.
