Use a hair dryer or heat lamp to accelerate drying time.

  Hi folks, 

  I have a quick question for you.  How long do you typically let the mortise sizing cauls sit while the wood dries after steaming out old key bushings?  I usually do this at the end of a day, so they can sit over night, but I'm wondering if just a couple of hours is enough. I finished de-busing a few minutes ago and would like to have the whole set re-bushed today, but if you all think they should still sit for 8-10 hours or more, I'll wait until Monday.   

  Thanks
