I think I'm going to use your advice. �I placed my humidor in a 10
gallon ZipLoc bag and the humidity seems to be creeping up from the 54%
it was at to about 61%. �This leads me to believe that I have a leaky box.

I tried to seal it with thin felt around the lid where it meets the box
(and it does have a lip on it, but it's a really loose fit. �I've read
it's supposed to go "whoosh" when you open it).

So I think it's time to buy a replacement humidor.

I have/had a similar problem - main solution has been 3 coolerdors
<g> - but for the leaky humidor, I finally put a thin bead of silicone
at the "L" - really thin - it worked like a charm - was just enough to
give me the seal. Best to use too little and have to add some.

Good luck!
