I got a 60qt Ziploc WeatherShield and the gasket in the lid was too thin so the latches would barely latch and not tight. So I got this from Amazon and it worked great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07477J8KL Fit like a glove and it seals great now. I installed on top of original gasket. FYI for any who have a similar issue. |

Despite the angst often experienced in getting wood humidors to seal reliably.....I find that my coolerdors, sterliteadors and rubbermaidadors work best when the seal is sucky |

Mine was not holding humidity well but this fixed the issue. Because you don't want the seal to be perfect... or at least that's been the common advice. Want a little bit of air exchange (I'm guessing to avoid issues like condensation or anything else that may cause standing water). I've never used a non-wood humidor, but when I was interested in it years ago many of the instructions included ensuring it didn't seal completely... either by choosing a cooler that didn't seal like tupperware, or I think some advised a small hole. |

Of course, I'm sure that with something like this, your local climate probably plays a big factor.
If you're in a location which is very dry, a full seal may actually work better....
If you're in a location with very wide temperature swings, then condensation inside the tupperdor may become a higher risk. |
