I was putting my Tomahawk to bed yesterday and I discovered that the foam inside all of the cushions was wet. I have taken all of the foam out (minus one, which is the next project). Given that tomorrow is Nov. 1 and I live in CT, the chances of letting them dry in the hot sun anytime soon is minimal. Any other thoughts on what to do. I can actually wring water out of them in some areas.

one option....would be in front of a window with souther exposure.
another would be setting in a dash of car or such for a day in the sun.....just think how warm you car gets sitting in the sun....
fan option will work good too....

You could soak them with some denatured or isopropyl alcohol. Squeeze it throughout the foam. It will absorb the moisture and remove it during evaporation (much quicker)..

Wring out as much as you can, and let sit in a dry place somewhere outside and NOT in an enclosed space. Temperature will have little bearing on how fast the evaporation takes place.
