Denatured alcohol soak is my preferred method. I weigh it when it comes out of it's bath and know it is dry when it stops losing weight. Usually in a little as a week.

Thanks Lew. Proper tool height is important. I've often thought making one with acme thread would be a good idea until I get to the part of locking it in place without ruining the thread.
