    Drying brass after wet tumbling?

    So I searched for this topic already but either I'm not searching correctly or it's not here.

    I wet tumble my brass and was wondering how folks are drying their brass after the wet tumble?

    I dry my brass in the oven. 200 degrees for an hour.

    I just let brass sit on a towel, on a table in the reloading room for a day or two until dry.

    I’ve had better results sitting on a towel near a fan and a dehumidifier. I used a dehydrator before but it was leaving spots on the brass. I’ve tweaked my ratios for wet tumbling since then but the towel works just as nicely

    I spin them in a media seperator to get most of the water off the brass. Then put in my rather large toaster oven 180-200 for about 20 mins.

    I use Franklin Arsenal dryer and it just happens to look like the food dehydrators. My daughter sent me a picture of hers and it was almost the same, similar to picture above.
