    I know there is a lot of ways to dry your pads but I found some Velcro strips in my garage and used the rough side , attached it to the back of the pads and just let it hang like the pics,what do you think?

    I just squeeze them, then spin them at full speed on my UDM or Flex. It is much faster like that then waiting for day for them to dry.

    Spin dry them on the rotary.

    Looks like a fine idea. The main thing you want to watch out for while drying pads is to not have the pad face up so the water is soaking into the velcro.

    That should work fine. I would still give them a spin first as others have already suggested. Just don't let the foam part touch the wall.

    Another vote for squeezing some water out then spinning on rotary for 20-30 secs

    Yup, I just wring them out as best I can and hit them with full blast on the rotary.

    The mist feels good on a hot day too...so I guess that is a little added bonus.

    I too put them on a rotary at 3000RPM. then throw them on a rack to dry
