Another Humidor Question

tenons on the dividers and groves in the rails will keep them in place without the need for glue. pressure fit is great for humidors because glue smells at least for a while and who wants to smoke glue? :-] sniff maybe… but not smoked. heheheheheh

-- hey honey! watch this!

I used to glue them without any problem. Just a couple spots in the middle. I didn’t read your first post, but be sure to finish the inside before the Spanish Cedar goes in. I used Beall round stop hinges for the hinges.

I agree with Skeezics, being a cigar conn- a sewer(heheheh) I have never seen a lining glued into a humidor, they are always pressure fit. You do not under any circumstance want to allow any glue smells to permeate cigars. Good luck with the pressure fit.

I glue them in…...and I have built a humidor or two ;) People will do some crazy things with my humis, including trying to pick it up by the lining…....I like the added insurance :)

Use a type III PVA, and apply it springly, and only on the opposite side of where you want the expansion accross the long grain. ie: The sides: They run horizontally, and you want any expansion to go “up” (the only way it can go, assuming you installed the bottom panel first and they butt up against it), therefore, you would apply a bead of glue along the lower 1/4 of the outside face. This means when the cedar expands and the board gets wider, it pushes up uninhibited.
