Would it be easier to make a lip out of some 1/4 round that was attached to the lid and set down into the bench when the lid was closed? If they fit snug against the sides that should make decent seal.
Ummm...no. It don't work that way with impromptu humidors. The level of precision needed to make this method work is a little bit beyond casual woodworkers. Angles of closure come into mind and that is a very critical fit to achieve a good seal because the lid is dynamic. It opens and closes. There has to be clearance for that to happen and the clearance can let humidity escape if everything is not just so. Far better to go with an impermeable seal of some kind.
