Drying a bow

[Loelle]

I am new at bowmaking and when I used spray starch on my bow this morning, it got quite wet. Being impatient as I am, I decided to use my hairdryer with my diffuser attachment to speed up the drying process. It worked like a charm and the diffuser prevented the bow from being blown out of shape! Just thought I would post this in case there are any other impatient bowmakers out there!

someone else mentioned earlier to throw them in the oven for a few and that works perfectly, just don't forget about them!

I left some light pink korker in there for about 1 hour and now they have a slight yellowish tint...OOPS!!! My dh says the same thing!!

I chuck mine in the microwave for 20 seconds. Before I attach to the clip of course!

another tip. I always make a bunch while watching tv and then I put them in the tub in the guest bath and spray them and leave them. I have noticed if i spray on any other surface it is hard to get off. When I am done I just runhot water and run the scrub brush accross the tub and all clean. If I am in a hurry I use the blow dryer too

I use my hair dryer as well when I am in a hurry. Normally I just spray them with Stiffen Stiffen stuff outside and then bring them inside to dry.
