Leo - I would love to have the room to dedicate to simple air drying.
But with all my other woodworking and contracting equipment, there
just isn't any room.

Then too, there are our summers where the outside temps are around 103
for several (two summers ago 39 days in a row) with no rain. My green
forms split all over, even ones that were partially dry. Aggressive
drying for me isn't anything more than self defense.

It's not the heat, it's the relative humidity. You need to get a hygrometer
and seek out or create your own drying place. Fridges and light bulbs are
guesses just like bags and boxes unless you monitor them once in a while.
You have containers, use them, only use them with a sense of purpose and
control of conditions.
