This is just an idea and may be a bad one lol, but if you'd like to use is sooner, you could probably put it in a pillow case, make sure it is securely tied closed and then throw it in the drier. Do this at your own risk and with some common sense like, don't leave your house while it's going, it may be a fire hazard so try at your own risk. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. It will dry it out nice and quick for you and then you can use it again starting with it dry and then ramping up the humidity until you get where you want. Just make sure not to use any thing chemical like softener in the dryer, make sure the pillow case is free of such things too. Well good luck.

It's interesting because I don't consider it saturated at all. The only way you can tell it has some moisture is because the darkened color.

I think i'll skip the pillow case in the dryer...i'm already pushing my luck w/ my wife because of the new snake in the house and a 4 pack of f/t mice in the freezer but I appreciate the creativity! I'm gonna try the punched hole in the tub route.
