Bruce,
I put mine under a high intensity light as well but had to watch it becasue of the heat. Suprisingly, the two 2 oz. sandeel swimmers were the worse for absorbing. The three 1 oz. slopeheads were next in line. However, the 2 oz. spooks and the micro spooks didn't absorb that much. They are dried nicely and the heat did little to change their color.
I'm getting ready to head to the reloading bench and get my scales so I can take a measurement. Will let you know. I think the heat is definitely helping. My research shows that that is about the only way unless you can soak them in drier (but that would ruin the wood grain.)
Lesson learned...don't soak as long. Time to order some replacements...
