I ran back to my room to take some quick pics. The first looks like it's on the towel and second show's it's not. It takes around 2 days. A hot towel every afternoon or every other day should be fine. I tried wrapping my lid in plastic, it didn't work as well as this at all. If you're having humidity issues this won't put a stop to misting, just slow down the drying out process. Lights kill humidity.
