Does anyone know of an easy way to dry out a music library?
Our rehearsal room - the Legion Hall at Crackington Haven - had a minor flood on Monday evening, you may have seen pictures on the news.
Anyway, apart from changing the venue of our Songs of Praise, scheduled annually for Bank Holiday Sunday on the harbour side at Boscastle, and having to cancel a sausage sizzle on the beach (what beach?) at Crackington Haven, we have escaped ok, but have been left with a third of our library which has been "dampened".
The individual envelopes are drying ok, but the music inside is still a bit wet. I am reluctant to remove every piece (well even my house could not accomodate that) because they may disintigrate.
So the question is tMpers:
Should I lay them all out as individual pieces, or leave them in their envelopes and let them dry naturally together?
Anyone else had this problem?
