Is it their "Polyurethane Gel Finish" you are talking about? If it is simple
and works in dusty areas I need this.

You are, of course, using unfinished Spanish cedar to line the interior?

FWIW, Leon has been using an impressive product made by the Lawrence
McFadden Co that, judging from what I've seen he's finished with it,
makes
me think it would make an excellent and natural finish for the exterior
of a
humidor made with most hardwoods.

Maybe he'll chime in here.


Chime, chime.


Having never built one before but chiming in, I think, like a cedar chest
the interior woods should probably be separate/and or semi floating, make
that Spanish Cedar. For the rest of the box I would completely seal "all
surfaces inside and out", except for the Spanish Cedar with a "varnish"
that will help prevent wood movement due to climate changes. The Lawrence
McFadden Gel varnish produces a great finish that is simple to apply. I
would recommend 6 or more coats. Each coat after the first should not
take over 3 or 4 minutes to apply and typically you can apply as many as 3
or 4 coats each day. With this varnish, there are no runs or drips or
problems with finishing in a dusty environment. Typically this finish is
dry to the touch in 5 to 10 minutes. It should be wiped on and almost
immediately wiped off and left to dry for a few hours and then repeat.
Apply to one section and wipe off the excess before doing another side or
section.

As a side note, this particular brand varnish is oil based but does not
add so much of that golden hue that most oil based varnishes will add.

This is the only place that I have seen the product sold. In case lots it
is about 1/2 price.
