Glue Chipping Dehydrator (glue chip)

I've always wanted to try a dehydrator, but didn't want to spend a lot just to experiment.

Reading through the site Ron posted below regarding reusing glue, within that site someone was using a Excalibur food dehydrator to dry film resist.

No reason that couldn't be put in your chipping cabinet. After reading Pat's article you could even do without a cabinet. Put the dehydrator on a table, prop the glass over the dehydrator and cover the whole thing, allowing air circulation. This set up would be quite similar to what Pat describes.

If anyone has already tried this, post the results.

As Rick G was setting up his original box, he used an old air conditioning unit to pull moisture, he helped me sep up my box with a room dehumidifier I got from one of the local dope growers. It pulled moisture fine, but we found lights or doing it by the wood stove worked just as well.
