Joe -

Thanks much for the explanation of the Marryat tool and how to use it. ( If I can figure that out on a Monday morning, you must have done a good job describing how it works !! )

I haven't tried any of the onstream drying powders. Generally, just blowing on the CDC will be enough to dry it ( at least for those of us with hot air to spare ). Maybe that is where the preen oil comes in - keeps the fibers from becoming waterlogged and clumping longer, as they will do at some point ??
