Lisa,

    You can let them air dry just fine. The key here is DRY. If you want
    to do granulation though, I would invest in a little trinket kiln.
    It's a very useful piece of equipment. I agree with Alton Brown,
    kitchen gadgets with only one use is silly, by the trinket kiln is
    nice for annealing and enameling small pieces of work.
