Do you guys think I should silicone the glass before I season it or just leave it?

Up to you. I would be more concerned with the Analog Hygrometer that came with it. Make sure you goop the crap outta that thing with silicone and stick it back in there nice and tight.

Then Scott (shilala) showed in a thread (Here) that you can successfully leak test with water buy filling up the humidor with distilled water to check for leaks. That's probably fool proof.

But if you're a handyman, the old fashioned strip it apart and seal it up good method should work.

I bought that digital hygrometer to replace it............

As for the silicone, I was just gonna run a small bead on the inside or outside, let it dry and call it good.

Could work I suppose if you got a good seal and it gets it's readings from the back of the Hygrometer. But if it reads from the front, it might not work. Most people just leave the stock one in and set the Digital one on top so you can see it thru the glass.

This is a replacement for the analog ones, just pops in place of it.
