How to seal a cabinet Humi???

Thank you for the replies.

This is the humidor I have. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...-AV2000&cat=10

I didn't pay anywhere near what they are charging. In fact the free cigars I recieved with the humidor, were worth more than what I payed. I guess I could say I got a good deal on the cigars and got the cabinet for free.

In a PM it has been suggested that I pull the humi apart and re-glue it. This may be the best suggestion, but I'm not sure that I'm up to that level of repair. I will need to really check it out to see if it can be disassembled without destroying it.

As far as the water on the stove goes. I have been trying to keep a pan of water on the stove, but my wife keeps removing it. This does seem to help though.

If it looks like I won't be able to disassemble the humi without destroying it, I think the X bracing will be a must do on my list.

Has anyone used "Gorilla Glue"?
If I don't tear this thing apart, it seems that Gorilla Glue would help add some strength. Does Gorilla glue give and air tight seal and how is it on gassing

I am better off doing nothing, than to risk ruining my cigars with a new infused glue flavor.

I have also kicked around the idea of adding another layer of Spanish Cedar if I can find some for a reasonable price. Do you think this would help or am I better off focusing on the seams?

Thanks again.

gorilla glue can be a pain since it expands quite a bit, Its rather strong though and can be scraped off later. You should be able to find a non-toxic caulk. This would be the route I would go and let it air out until any odd smell is gone. Once it cures you really should not have any odd smell. Go around every joint and seam that is not a moving area. They typically use an adhesive when building a humi in the first place and after time any fumes dissipate. The glued joints in the humi now will tough to get apart without damage and then a through clean up afterwards. Just some thoughts.
