Drying out Heartfelt beads?
Well i got alittle carried away when i went to fill up my beads this morning and grabbed a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon...and they got too much water...i was wondering if there was a way to dry them out?

Some say use a hair dryer but that didnt work well for me. I put them on a plate in a single layer in my toaster oven at the lowest setting.

Guess it depends on how much of a hurry you're in and how they're stored (i.e. loose, in a bag, in a humidifier disc, etc.). If they're loose or easily acessible, and if you have time, you can just dump 'em onto a paper towel, roll 'em around a little, and let 'em sit for a while. Unless you are in an un-air-conditioned room in a humid part of the country, they should become usable reasonably quickly.

I just leave mine out, on top of my humi until they're as dry as I'd like.

-------------------------------- just go buy some kitty litter beads - you get around 8lbs for roughly $10. I use them in my cooler and they work like a champ! That is just barely over $1/lb - how much do those heartfelt beads cost?

Put them in the refridgerator. A compressor fridge removes moisture as a side effect.

Hair dryer works fine for me.
