  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Custom cabinet humi question

I'm having a cabinet humi made from cypress, which I've learned recently is a moisture wicking wood.

I planned on lining the inside with spanish cedar, but have been told I should place some type of barrier between the woods to prevent the cypress from sucking all the humidity out.

I'm open to suggestions on what to use as a sealant on the cypress inside the cabinet, or a barrier between the cypress and cedar.

Thanks brothers!

I would send a email to Bob Staebell @ Aritocrat humidors. Even though your not a current customer, he'd probably still help you out with a great answer.....

I'd coat the entire inside with food-grade silicone.


That's actually not true. I'd ask an expert. Don't listen to me.
