As im driving in to work this morning, i had a thought regarding small seal leaks in humidors. I remember back in the day watching wood workers seal cabinet doors with wax. Do they make a wax stick that could help a dollar bill test pass? Just a thought!!

I was thinking of using a non-scented candle or a wax stick, but I cant find a wax stick, so I guess I will attempt a little rubbing on the back edge of my humidor. I think I have a small leak in the back by the hinges, Its small but wont hold up to 68%. I had 67% for 2 weeks and now it seems that its stable at 60%
The only variable I have had is, I have been opening it a lot latelty to set my trade and bombs boxes up. I only opened it once every 2 days before that. Cant hurt to try.
I like an honest answer; I would rather have you tell me true than blow smoke up my ass!!!
This is my first Humidor, and it is small (50 count), my cigar education started here, so in all actuality, I wouldn't have known the difference of what was cheap or decent for the money until you guys helped me
Thankyou for your reply!!!
I don't see any light, I just think from opening it and closing it its wearing in, and I am losing a little RH.
I will keep an eye on it
If you did want to try the "wax" you can usually get some from your local lumberyard/cabinet shop, they use it for older style drawers to make them "slide" easy, or craft stores sometimes
one of my first posts here was about humidor trouble (I get a cigar 2-4 times a day depending if wife smokes with me or not) and they couldn't keep up Rh with that, someone recommended Tupperware or cooler, I went right into (two) coolers - 1 for my wife's flavored and another for mine, use 69 beads in each, and its been great ever since
