Default how to dry the rock in winter?

Hi guys
I have some dead rock so i bleach them for couple hours and then rinse them in RO/DI with prime. Now i am wondering how I can dry them fast since it is winter here?

Can i just put the fan blowing at it?

Thanks

in the furnace room lay them flat..till dry should be only few days as Calgary weather is dry in winter season..or better yet cook in the oven I am sure it will work on 240 degrees

Just lay them out in the basement Tai & a fan wouldn't hurt one bit.

Check the bottom side of the rock as the water should flow down.
