keep the hair dryer on it for ages you may think its getting to hot but it aint, it may look dry but if it is damp it will kill itself instantly.

put it in the airing cupboard for 48 hours...

if its even slightly damp when its used it will fry.

can i cause damage by leavin it in there too long?

 

[Dink]

nope

it really has to be completely dry but try and get good air circulation
