I am using the Platine paper and double-coating it so my experience is
bound to be different from yours, however... I let my sensitizer dry
overnight, the natural way :), without the aid of a blowdryer. I just
pop the wet sheet into a paper safe. Now, it seems to me that if you
were to place wet sheets in a paper safe then the *local* humidity within
the safe would be much higher than the New Mexican desert, which might
obviate the need for glycerine.

Just a thought...
