Well, a few weeks ago, my project has 6" of snow on it, and now it's 50 degrees outside and rather nice. <br />Perfect for doing my stringer work.<br /><br />Anyone have suggestions on removing some minor moisture before I glue my last set of stringers in?<br />I had about 10 gallons of water on my tarp after the snow melted. Some of it seeped inside.<br /><br />I know spring weather would be best, but lately it would either be too darn cold, or too hot.<br />I want to take advantage of the mild weather over the next few days before another storm hits.<br /><br />I only have one side (2 stringers) to go and of course the plywood on top.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.<br /><br />

Yes... I had to clean up the floor with the shop vac, and got the few puddles of water.<br /><br />A heat gun is an excellent idea. I'll borrow one from work. We have those heavy duty industrial type... Not the kind to dry your hair unless you want to burn it off!<br /><br />H.

Yeah, if you are glassin' you'll want it completely dry, and at least about 60 degrees or warmer. Good luck...
