My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
I just received a new vicksburg humi and there is sap on the trays that go in the top. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what is the best way to deal with the evil SAP.

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
I got some spanish cedar from Rockler that had sap on it. I lightly wiped it with Denaturated Alcohol and then sanded them down. There is stains on the cedar where the sap was but it is not sticky any more. This cedar was used in my winecoolidor as shelves. I am not that worried about it because I keep all my stogies in boxes in there. Rockler is sending me new pieces but I went ahead and used what I had. I would not want to store single on those shelves. Have you called the place you got the box from? I would have them send me a new tray or trays. If you decide to deal with the sap yourself make sure you wear a dustmask if you do any sanding. Hope it all works out for ya.

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
I wouldn't sand it, if you do make sure you wear a mask because that stuff is nasty.
Call Bargainhumidors and tell them about it. They are good people for the most part and hopefully will do right. Keep us posted

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
I talked to Bargainhumidors and they say that during the hot weather especially in areas like Texas, being in the hot delivery trucks will cause the wood to "weep". They said to remove the sap with denatured or rubbing alcohol and let the wood completely dry of the alcohol before closing the humi back up. She said that it shouldn't be a problem after the humi is at a constant temp and humidity.
I agree with one of the above posters that removing as much of the sap as possible with a knife ahead of the cleaning process would be the best idea. Here is the email from Bargain Humidors.... Quote:

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
Good news man, keep us posted on how this goes. I am curious in case I ever get SAP on any of my humidors when shipped.

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
Well I have my humi seasoning right now. I removed the SAP with vodka
, They were talking about using alcohol and waiting for it to dry so it doesn't impart any flavors, so I picked an alcohol that at least has a good flavor and very little scent. It worked pretty well but took some elbow grease. I will keep everyone updated if I have anymore sap issues.

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
Hmmmm...
For some reason, I remember reading somewhere that a little 'weep' was a good thing, and indicated the use of quality wood. Did I misunderstand?

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
Here's what I did: I waited.
I waited a few days and most of the sap actually dried up, then I just sprayed a bit of distilled water on a paper towel and dabbed at it continuously with the paper towel, and my fingers, until all the "stickiness" was gone. I did that with all four trays and the bottom, and everything is fine and dandy now. I'm content. Kelso

Re: My New Vicksburg has SAP on the trays
as long as you make sure that the stickiness is gone i would think it would impart a good woody flavor of anything the enters that humi, but I could be wrong...being a newb and all.
