So I’ve sort of been testing out an idea that I’d been thinking about… Baking wasp nests that have yet to fully dry. Right now, I’m using a toaster oven that has racks and settings so that the whole thing doesn’t melt. The lowest temp it shows is 250 F but the oven I had allowed it to go lower so it only warmed the air. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/3/1/d31cdd9f701773b1343d1aa1d5d87c2995caacbb.jpeg) So far I’ve baked it for about 40 minutes and it’s mostly done now! Gave the inside of the tube a quick puff of the hairdryer because the glue in there hadn’t dried yet, and it’s all set! You could probably bake it at a higher temp, I wasn’t sure when the plastic and string would start to melt/burn though, so I didn’t push it. Not a bad use of 2 hours! 😛 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/c/1/7c1e9c0c0b3ce75bc5b6fa6f9a64c526cd05f59d.jpeg) Cheers! 😃 ---

> [@xiaoxiao](#): > > Took mine 2 days to dry. Then it fell apart. don’t use that water and glue mixture it doesn’t do as well as you think. I used hodge podge on mine and it was ready to be used the same day it dries fairly fast and when it was done my counterweight was like a rock and it added some weight to the counterweight. Which I can’t complain about but I like it.
