So I got the new wicks from Ron today in the mail and went downstairs to put them in the canisters of the Accu-Monitor. As I was doing this, I decided to pull everything out of the humi and kinda do a visual inspection of things and get to some wiring that I'd kinda jury-rigged earlier and needed to finalize.
So as I'm getting ready to do the wiring, I unplugged one of my fans and on the inside of the connection was a tar colored Vaseline textured kind of grease. As I got to looking around more, it was on the wiring as well, or maybe inside the wiring, it was hard to tell. Then I unwrapped some electrical tape from a temp connection I had and the inside of the tape was covered in the same stuff.
I'm freakin' clueless as to what this is...and freakin' out! Below are some pics I took:
On the cedar and appears to be originating from the nail hole of the wire holder.
Similar but appears to be originating from contact of wiring that lays against the cedar.
Another area that seems to start at the point that the nail is in.
Maybe hard to see, but this is the first place I noticed it, nothing on the outside of the connector, but the pins were covered.
This is on the left side of the sensor in the first pic.
And finally, the top wire is one that I took out of a box and installed tonight, the bottom wire is one that was originally in the humidor. Now I know this is weird, but it looks like what you'd see in a lounge that people have been smoking in for years...and I don't smoke in the house, and especially don't smoke in my humidor!
Anybody got any ideas to set my mind at ease? :dunno:
