Water Hash Dry + Decarb Using a Food Dehydrator (your .02 is welcome) :)

Hey fellow RIU'ers

I am preparing for a large"ish" water hash extraction and the drying time of my final product is important. I know BadKat and others have recomended using a food dehydrator for drying and decarbing but I havent been able to find any specifics especially with using water hash. What Im wanting to know is (1) what surface would you put the hash on to fit in the dehydrator which is the typical 5 stacked rings design (2) What types of spacing and ventalation issues would one have to consider using this method (3) how long to put the product in the machine. If anyone has any imput and especially experience I would be more than greatful for some words of wisdom! Im not sure if Kat visits this page regularly so feel free to give your .02
 
Heres BadKats quote
" Loose hash, separated from plant matter,

in general needs a bit less decarbing. With herb, depending on the age, I decarb for a full

20 minutes after the preheat, rather than including that warm up in my 20 minute time

frame.

A food dehydrator works just as well, if not better than heat at decarbing, it reduces the

risk of damaging your product with excessive heat. It's hard to tell when your decarb is

completed when using heat, usually gently browned herb is a good sign but it often

means you've taken it a hair too far, and some material in the middle may not be

completely decarbed."
