Re: [papercreters] Thank you and questions

I live in VA and one of my first test blocks I pored under an overhang at
the side of my barn. So it would not get rained on, it was spring time and
rainy, but it was in the shade too. Well that block never did dry and after
a month or more I moved it out to my solar dryer (a large piece of glass
leaning against the sunny side of the barn) and it went from a (still) wet
noodle to a hard block in a few days. Not being in the hot dry southwest I
can see that porings like that would not work here unless you can bake them
somehow. Of course this is just my experince and you should do some tests of
your own to see what's what.
