Humidor Divider Foam/Rubber

Thanks!

Also, another question related to the humi if anyone has experience with this. I noticed one of the hinges squeaks a bit when opening/closing. Since the hinges are outside the internal space of the humidor, I'm thinking it should be fine to use a bit of oil on them. Thoughts? I'm thinking something like dry (bicycle) chain lube or 3 in 1 oil...

If you have any motor oil handy, a drop of that should do the trick. I find chain lube to be a bit tacky.

most chain lubes have a heavy scent to them. I would use a drop of vegatable oil.

+1

Also most places (Target, Walmart, Office supply stores) sell "self-adhesive felt" in little packages either in the furniture area or office supplies, exactly what you want for the ends of dividers in your humidor.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

Just an update, support for the devil's site is awesome and sent me new adhesive strips for the dividers. If I'm being picky, the dividers are a little off size wise - for example, the top tray divider needs two strips on one side, and the bottom ones barely fit with a single strip, but the humi seems to have a nice seal and once the dividers are in place, I doubt I'll be moving them much.

I've held off on doing anything to lube the hinge since I don't know how big of a deal I find the creaky hinge. Maybe it can serve as an early warning system if someone's trying to get at my smokes.

I'll keep in mind the vegetable oil suggestion though if I get sick of the noise.

Thanks again!
