i just bought a new washer and dryer and my old dryer has a RH setting for how dry you want your clothes... im planning on trying to quick dry 2 elbows of trim to 68% humidity for making hash. no the bag will not be moving around because i have a dryer shelf that stays put in the center and doesnt spin.. has anyone else tried this? i have put my caliber 3 in there and it definitly turned off at 68% humidity.or any other RH% i wanted.. and if there is a better humidity level for the dryness please let me know.

Never tried this however first problem imaginable is the smell which probably will be quite strong.

could be cool to test try with a small amount first so not to ruin a big batch
Gonna smell hayish but it will work just fine. I will likely need to place a screen over the trim once.of the shelf or the airflow is likely to blow ur trim all over the dryer otherwise I see zero reason that wouldn't work

im done with half the trim.. i believe the results were good, seemed like a good 5 day dry period from past experiences. but i cant tell till i put these bubble bags to work.. i put the broke up trim in vented oven bags and just taped em to the shelf.. it really didnt smell at all. i didnt run the dryer on a heat cycle.. air only so it was like a dehumidifier. took about a hour and a half to dry it to the point where it would just crack but still had elasticity to it. the RH was 56% on the meter when i took the trimmings out. well off to the store for ice
Great call on the oven bag. I'd have never thought of that. If that works as well as u say I may be in the market for a new clothes dryer. I just posted a tutorial on full melt bubble if ur interested (though u sound like u know what ur doing) post some pics when ur done.
