Step 9 - Dry The best for way for a helmet to dry is on a dish rack like this one. It allows air to circulate to let it dry faster. DO NOT use a heat source (hair dryer, etc.) to expedite the drying process! The heat will cause glue breakdown and other problems. Just DON NOT do it! |

Tips
Al from Florida had a great tip: I used an inverted (i.e. pointing UP) $30 little floor fan from Home Depot that swivels. My helmet dried on that in under 1/2 - with no heat source, just air. |
