@Macgyxer 4 жыл бұрын

You can cut the dry time by 95%, dedicate a room specifically for drying. Run a dehumidifier with low air movement on a completely sealed off room. Let it run for 3-5 days, measure the moisture content every other day.

@Macgyxer 4 жыл бұрын

I’m a structural drying engineer. We use dehumidifiers and air movement to safely dry out solid lumber in 3-5 days without risk of cracking the wood. There are different types of dehumidifiers for different scenarios, you can use a Desiccant dehumidifier over an LGR if you’re worried about heat.
