Anybody got any tips? I'm having a devil of a job getting it any moisture out of it. Stuck at 10.5% and trying to get below 9. Using a Farrell trayler drier. Ta!

Can you agitate it as you dry it?

Linseed has a high resisteance to air flow. Try halving the quantity in the drier and do smaller batches.

Check the holes in the vents aren't blocked and that the pipes haven't filled with seed. It will find every minute hole in your system and run through them like water!

Thanks. Not filling it and being a bit braver with the heat seems to have got a couple of batches down to 8.4%. I know what you mean about it getting everywhere, it gets through the mesh false floor and blows out of the vents at the back all over the floor!!
