REFLECTOR: Water in the ducts....

[Jim Sower]

What if you were to put some absorbant material, say, a towell over all 
those 100 holes, tape a piece of 4-mil plastic over that and vacuum bag 
that area?  Would be simple enough and would get a whole lot more 
moisture out than a heat lamp.  I can give you some details on cheap, 
easy vacuum bagging.
This is certainly a cause for some concern ... Jim S.
