Alcohol Drying - David R. Smith blog on subject

How about a drink of distilled spirits, which should cause you to conclude that alcohol does not speed up evaporation of the less volatile liquid, else it wouldn't distill?

Of course, driving there would also involve gasoline distilled by differential evaporation....

Like any 'Ole Soak' it's not easy for a wet bowl to dry out. They both have to want to for the process to work, but it has been done by many drunks and woodturners. I recognize the difference.

I've never sent a wet bowl to AA, but it's a thought and not much worse than some other timber drying methods. They all have their zealous missionaries so it's a matter of choosing (or refusing) any sect.

Guess I should at least get my bowl cleaned up in LDD before it attends its first AA meeting. :)
