Dai Scott on sat 9 may 98

I was amused/aghast at Chris' ponderings in his reply to Berry about drying
molds---surely he meant a HAIR dryer, not a clothes dryer. I am visualizing
a very battered mold at the end of the drying cycle!!
While I'm here, can someone tell me how to reply to a specific question on
the list, having that question reprinted with my reply, when I have the kind
of "mail delivery" that has all the letters under one heading, instead of
each having it's own heading where you can just hit "reply". Is anyone
still with me? Thanks in advance.

Dai,
Actually yes, I do mean a clothes dryer. There is a stationary shelf
attachment that can be inserted into many clothes dryers for the purpose of
drying things like canvas tennis shoes and such that don't like to be
tumbled. Another idea I have is to disconnect the belt from the electric
motor to the drum that holds the clothes and then suspend a shelf inside the
drum. Then load the greenware pieces on the shelf.
Used clothes dryers can be had pretty cheap. I traded some old computer
parts for one myself. Some like mine have an automatic cycle with a sensor
that reacts to the moisture and will shut down when things are dry.
