    Drying soaked leathers

    My leathers are completely waterlogged after playing in the pool today. How do you guys go about drying them?

    i assume this resulted from too much alcohol? leathers in the pool? were there mini bikes, a ramp, and midget involved?

    I would let them air dry. Do not use any heat or forced hot air.

    Re: Drying soaked leathers

    the only think I have used to help speed up the drying a little bit is to park a dehumidifier near where you hang the leathers to air dry
