Based 100% on an idea shamelessly stolen from another member of this forum (thanks PH!), I introduce to you the dry-suit-boot-drying-stick-o-matic!!

Using the latest in space age technology, it utilises specialised materals and adhesives (bits of left over 40mm plastic drain pipe held together with some Marley Gold that hasn't yet completely dried out) with a small computer fan screwed in to the end.

If you wash your dry suit (or in my case completely flood it,,,,with sea water - no p-valve mis-haps this time) it can take weeks to get the boots to dry out

Stuff the drying-stick-o-matic down into the toe of the dry suit boot, switch it on, and away she goes.

Mine was made with mostly left over parts, but if you were to buy all parts new, I reckon you could put one together for around $40...

Cool.
Pity it does not seal up leaks in boots too!
