there's nothing wrong with a little air exchange coming through the sides of the lid. polyfil is only an adjuster, it doesnt filter air in any way.
your major problem is bacteria covering the entire pinning surface. not air coming in through the imperfect lid.

I can already see humidity on top of the tub collecting
What you are seeing is condensation and it's not an indication of humidity. It's just an indication that the inside of the tub is warmer than the room temp.
Just like how a cold drink will become sweaty once you take it out of the fridge.
After reading that new Myth Hub thread I've come to understand that law of physics haha. I will probably still say that incorrectly for a small while but i understand it now haha.
I was just bringing that up because the tub wasn't really able to do that before when air was flowing too freely in and out that there couldn't be too much of a temperature difference. Regardless I am happy.

I understand that. I'm not trying to filter out any air contaminants, I just want to make the best possible monotub with my my setup currently is. I can't do anything about the bacteria so I'm doing my best to keep the tub happy for what time I have it.
Please excuse me if I made it sound like anything other than that, I'm still new so odds are I won't communicate everything I want to say the right way for a little bit.

Extra FAE is better than too little, especially when you have any kind of contam. The polyfill is to keep enough moisture in so you won't have to mist every hour or so. I do get condensation, especially in summer but just keep an eye out for signs of low FAE, it can do more harm than too much.
As long as you mist as needed, you can grow shrooms in open air very successfully, even in very low Rh.

it just seems you think of it as a problem, you even say "air flow too freely" which isnt really a problem at all but what you want. and I know there's a "tek" on shroomology that says you should weatherstrip your monos, been brought up here a cpl times and its just FYI..

I don't wan't to come off as a dick saying this but, (If i had done this tek to the T and not a tub in tub design) whats the point of a monotub anyway then? I understand they are great for bulk grows, but they lack tons of FAE and that what you guys are saying could help. I just don't know what would be best for my current tub.
I will do a 2 quart bulk grow from LC probably withing the next month or two and ill have an updated tub to work with that will be better.

what tub in tub design? no FC's are tub-in-tub. what I'm saying is weatherstripping monos makes no sense and gives no benefit. point of the monotub is to adjust FAE with the poly, you can open all holes and have great fae for most actives, edibles and monos usually dont go together.

Monos are perfect for FAE because you can dial them in however you like. As long as you follow the monotub tek to a T, lack of FAE will never be a problem if you dial it in properly.
For example in summer, the air is super stagnant over here, I've been dialing every hole with loose poly and I can still increase more FAE if I wanted to. If you ever have a lack of FAE problem with loose poly, you can always take the top poly out.
Lack of FAE is non existing with a mono unless it's an operator error.

monotubs do not lack FAE. you are incorrect.

Ok i mis-spoke on that one. What i meant was that the conventional monotub design has less air flow capabilities than the tub I am using, due to the fact that i have slits in my lid that GE can occur from. That may not be necessarily true but in my mind if the tubs are all things considered equal, that my tub has 2 more possible areas for GE. Not saying it is better or worse, just different.

wouldn't your tub have LESS air flow if you wrapped the lid seal in glad?

Yes
The reason I did that was to try to get closer to the Monotub tek which doesn't have those slits in the lid.I'm not trying to make my tek any better or worse. I'm just trying to get my setup as close to the original tek.

aha, well you're still looking at it a bit wrong, you dont wanna copy what someone else does you wanna find out what works best for you! there is no universal setup, number of holes, size of holes, how tightly you stuff them etc.. try to get as much fresh air as possible to the point where you can still keep up with misting every other day.

The fact is that a lot of what you THINK is incorrect. You just need to do a LOT more reading and researching. There are so many errors in your posts. It's not a bad thing. You just need to do more research. It is only a bad thing when you can't admit it or see it yourself, and refuse to change it.
Good luck. Listen to all of these guys. They know what they are doing, and are trying to help.

You should look into Unmodified monotubs, they work like a charm, and im sticking with it tbh lol

7/13 Pictures
Just wanted to throw up an update of sorts. I made an LC from one of my spore syringes (I can't do agar as of now so this was what i wanted to go with) and my tub is getting there! It's a bit blue because I fucked up hard and let it get really dry one day when i had my fan on too high with my lid cracked. I have done my best to clean it up and it seems to be mostly unaffected my the one day. Since this came from MS i have some weird genetics but i sure do love this big guy in the corner. This LC is coming along well, before i shook it today it was coming along very nicely. I started the LC this sunday and im happy with where its coming along. Temps in my room have been ranging from 75 to 84 ish through the week but always with good air flow in it.

EDIT: Added some pics for the shroom in question

something's definitely attacking those fruits, they're not supposed to have such thinning on the stems.
the sub is obviously bacterial but that's not really a big concern, but I'd stop misting that thing and get a 2nd opinion, you dont wanna spread parasitic mold in your house.

on my phone i don't see mold yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. But you're getting something! 
Edit: can someone zoom in the bottom left of the tub, 3rd pic and see? That may be mold there. Definitely shouldn't mist it.
