That's great advice! I used a light diffuser over vermiculite, and I switched them to a clean, bare tub after I cut them. I have been afraid that whatever potentially dragging could dry out and get stuck on the bare plastic too - that's a great suggestion to put a moist paper towel down - I will do that in the future! Thank you!
