# Reviving an antique humidor - The Lounge Group

Odd question for you all. Over the winter i got into reviving and refinishing antique humidors I've been sanding them down and staining and sealing the exteriors. Even adding in some leather work into them. Posted in The Lounge by Stycarl on May 3 2022 2:28:02 PM

Odd question for you all. Over the winter i got into reviving and refinishing antique humidors I've been sanding them down and staining and sealing the exteriors. Even adding in some leather work into them.

But Ive been running into issues getting them to hold any sort of humidity no matter how much i season them the humidity just drops right back down. Ive even tried the Boveda seasoning packs that are supposed to boost it to 84%.

Anyone have any other thought on things to try?
