If you put it in front of a fan it will probably dry faster.

oven at 250......I've used this SO many times. (and, at least w/ my oven, when doing royal icing flowers using the large lily nail -- the gaps in the racks are just the perfect size to hold the flowers while they dry....I once did over 40 at one shot....dry in about 45 min. time!)

and on fan -- if you have one of those small portable room heaters w/ a fan...that works really well too --- esp. in winter!

I dry it in the oven with just the light on and it not turned on. Never timed it but I know it dries alot faster than just on the counter.

I've seen a hairdryer on a gentle setting (low) work... but you have to be REALLY careful.

I think I'd try Doug's suggestion. I'm going to try it next time.
