I'm not so sure you can....you might try a fan or the convection oven on super low..... good luck..

Someone posted here the other day about using a food dehydrator to dry Royal lickity-split. You don't have one of those by any chance do you?

Do you have a hair dryer with a cool setting? Maybe that might work if it's something that can't fit in a dehydrator (if you have one of those). Or, maybe set it in front of a room fan?

Put it in the oven on a low heat, put it near a window that the sun comes through. You could even try a blow dryer. I haven't but I have heard it works~ Good luck~

LOL i am in a rush. its actually holding a stick to chocolate so the oven idea wont work (i'll have melted chocolate). I actually put it in the fridge, i hope that wasnt a bad idea. its seeming to harden a little but i'm not sure what will happen when i take it out. I was thinking the hair dryer but like i said, chocolate. i bad move and my transfer is ruined. i dont have a food dehydrator icon_sad.gif. Thanks guys any other options??

I hope the refrigerator doesn't keep it wet. Good luck~ I bet it'll turn out ok!

Can you use chocolate to attach the stick? Chocolate will harden faster.

hey you guys thanks for all the suggestions. i didnt feel like melting chocolate and then put warm chocolate on already hardened, didnt want to take the chance of my transfer getting messed up. the refrigerator really helped. it was nice and hard in less than an hour. it definately wasnt as hard as it would normally get when sitting out a few days but it was hard enough to work and i didnt have to worry about it.

i hope this helps someone that wants to know how to harden their royal flowers quicker.
