I agree that you shouldn't wipe down the wood with water, I usually condition a new humidor with a shot glass of distilled water and some sort of wick ( a few cotton balls work well). As for PG, you can buy it at any pharmacy (ask the pharmacist, they use it to mix a lot of medecines) but you'll probably need to buy a pint, which is a lifetime supply. Any cigar shop will sell the mix of 50/50 PG and distilled H2O, which is what you want to end up with.
In terms of your fuzzy cigars, your humidity is too high, no doubt about it. You need to calibrate your hygrometer.....google "Hygrometer salt test" for instructions on doing this. Or, you could upgrade to a digital hygro, which I would recommend. FYI, I keep my cigars (all 1500-2000 of them) at around 66% relative humidity, I find them more enjoyable to smoke at that humidity.
