Light Leaking

What is the most effective way i could prevent light from showing around the cracks/seams as well a creating a light trap for a cabinet with double doors without making modifications to the outside of the cabinet?

If i should just completely smother the inside in multiple layers of white paint until the seams are filled, what brand of paint should i use that could be considered cost effective?

Would a curtain sealed by velcro be enough to block light out around all 4 sides of the doors opening?


Any insight, direction, or references to related issues would be appreciated!!!

Blunch time!

I have a veg cab with double doors (DIY). I ended up putting 3 latches (outside though, you mentioned you don't want to modify but that's what it took), plus one more at the top. Then I put a rubber strip of garage door sealer (bottom rubber stuff on garage doors) on the inside, backwards so the part that folds in folds towards the inside of the doors. That did it but it did require latches on the outside. What I've seen is that depending on the stage of your run, particularly during 18/6 and higher humidity, it tries to warp out in the centre of the doors, that's where the latches came in. Pic from outside so you have a visual of what I'm talking about...

Thats pretty exactly what i needed, thanks!
