put them on a window screen and turn on a fan till they are dry...i tend to over do it so about 10-14 days. I also shake them a little once in a while to help get rid of the flakey stuff.

I soaked mine got all the guck off them, rinsed, towel dried them twice, once with paper towel, put on a pizza pan (a round 15 inch pan for pizza) that has holes in it, and put that on a bread rack (to raise it off the ground and that air will circulate) I now have a fan on them, almost constant for the first 2 days, it is working so far.

Waxed paper on cookie sheets if you don't have window screen.. and turn often that first 24 hours (like four turns) then daily for a few days, will help prevent the sticking. I have mine on an old window screen over the tub in the extra bathroom that is rarely used... rinsing off all the goo is very important for getting rid of that 'just carved pumpkin' smell, and helps prevent furry mould from forming. Air circulation is important and spacing as they dry.

Doug, once the seeds dry a week or so and the thin film sheds off them they come off the paper with no problem. Just finished mine and they turned out fine.Don't worry about it.
