Ventilation > heat.

Yeah, see that was my thought, too. You can heat the air to accelerate the evaporation, but the air can become saturated if it doesn't get exchanged. I feel pretty good about my little force-air ventilation system using the hair dryer and some tubing. Gonna let it run for a while, maybe even over night.

Good idea as long as the hair drier copes, but the motor will probably blow out eventually.

Yeah, it cost me all of $15US. My hair is probably 2" long at its longest -- it's not like I need the dryer to begin with. Shit, I had to go out and buy it because I've lived without one for years. I'll run 'er till she pukes.
