Hi. what i use is a “drying cabinent” – its simply my oven that has a 60w bulb hanging to its inside. The gumpaste items that require drying are placed on lower shelfs. Its important to shade these items with brown paper or foil (placed in between the light source and the items)l, otherwise you will experience a colour fade.
The whole essence technically, is to create around the items an atmosphere of dried air, which will enhance faster drying.
I live in a tropical country and experience high humidity constantly. The drying cabinent, has been my saving grace. Regarding runouts, i say there is no harm in experimenting if it will work. A cupboard can also be rigged up with a bulb for the same purpose. Hope this helps.
