Nope, I don't live in the south. I live in Southern Alberta, Canada...about half an hour north of the Montana border. It's typically considered a dry climate.

Processing bench with tubes does indeed sound the way to go, especially after Clif's tip about the Mica.

So pre-pumpdown time prior to processing seems to lie anywhere in between a little more than an hour to a day ahead....looks like more is better in this case...

Thanks!!
