So my Park Lane humidifier required some slight refilling today.
I followed its instructions to the T - poured a small amount of PG solution into the back, wiped off the excess fluid, then placed it in its slot on the inside of the humidor's lid.
However, I noticed that after a few minutes, there was some leakage. It was not severe enough to be dripping on my cigars, but it was giving the wood around it a "stained" look.
Here are two photos I took. The first is with the humidifier still in place, and the second shows what it looks like underneath when I take the humidifier out. I apologize for the quality, it was just a cell phone camera...
Is this normal? Should I be worried that the wood is being damaged?
Should I discontinue use of the humidifier and just stick to beads?
