2.5 what? And do you think that question is really worth making a whole new topic for?

well it is a shite question for a new topic but what i do is filter the AP through a piece of cotton. Then i rap the cotton round the blob of AP and wash it a hell of alot. Then i take lots and lots of kitchen roll and make a really thick pad (kinda like a big sanitry towl). Then i put about 3 layers of newspaper on it. Then finally i put the piece of cotton on it. The kitchen roll and newspaper suck the moisture out leaving the AP only slightly damp in a short time.

i think it is one of those rotary lettuce dryers, u know witht the handle on top and it spins this mesh basket inside really fast. Anyway, i would say it would be 2.5 min, cos hours or seconds just dont seem right somehow

i put the ap on a stack of lined paper for about 3 days. this insures a nice dry AP. one important thing though, is i change the paper (and by stack i mean like 5 sheets) every day. the paper sucks the moisture out of the AP. this is much faster than evaporation.

Why not use vermiculite(so?) to dry your AP? I forget what it's used for but you can find it in most hardware stores. Shroom growers usually use it to dry their shrooms 'cause it absorbs LOTS of water and takes alot of the humidity out of the air around it. It comes in a coarse white powder so if you were to use it for drying AP I think that you could just put your filtered/washed AP on a paper towl overtop of some of this stuff. I should dry it out in about a day or so. It only takes about 5 days to completely dry out about a dozen shrooms with 1 or 2 cups of vermiculite. well, at least I think that's what it's called.

that is what is called a desicant. if you can't find anyweher to by it, you can go to a clothing store and take the little packets out of the pockets of clothes (which are marked do not eat) these are also desicants. you get a bunch of these packits and you are all set.

I know they're poisonous, but why do they stress so much that you don't eat the things? (those moisture absorbing packets)

the reason you can't eat whats in those little packets is cause it dehydrates you big time, and you have a little trouble breathing...
...i er...ate one of them when i was 4 =\
its not pretty...
and when i said it dehydrates you, it dehydrates EVERYTHING (including your shit.)
and theres nothing worse then shitting a turd rock.
i remember about 4 days after i ate the packet, my skin turned a funny color..sorta green/red, and it flaked of, and my fingernails, and toenails turned a green color too
i can remember they gave me something to remove the poison from the silica, but it still dehydrated you, so you had to drink around 3-4 litres of water a day for 2 weeks

Blackadder: They stress not to eat them so much much because they are easily mistaken for salt. Because if someone goes o put one on their french fries and sees a big "Do not eat", they will realize it's not salt.

O-K,back to topic.You can use a cloth filter to speed up the dry time somewhat.Filter it with a 16 by 16 square inch piece of cotton t-shirt,then bring the corners up,twist the AP into a ball in it,wrap the excess cloth around the ball.Then squeeze the hell out of it!.After the excess cloth has absorbed all the moisture it can,do the same with 3 or 4 folded-over sheets of paper towel a few times.3 or 4 times removes almost all the moisture.then sread it out on several styrofoam plates(no deeper than 1/16th. to 1/8th. deep)and it completely dries in 3 to 6 hours at room temp.(70 to 75 Farenhiet).BTW,this method is for a larger batch(wrapped-up golf ball or larger),smaller batches would take less paper towels,smaller filter cloth.

I do something similar. Except i use a coffee filter. I have a special towel for doing this. The %35 h202 has turned the once green towel red. I then squeeze it with paper towels for a few mins with gloved hands. For some reason, The second i come into contact with wet ap i get the sniffles! lol.
