We are talking about completely saturated balsa, not drying green
lumber to get SOME of the native moisture out. Besides, you can't get
it in the kiln while it's still sandwiched between two layers of
fiberglass and attached to a boat. If it's been wet for any length of
time, the balsa is permanently damaged anyway, and replacement is
mandated.

So, in this case, no, you can't kiln dry it.

Well, you did say you were going to put it in the oven :-)

No I didn't. I said even if you DID, it wouldn't fix the problem. :-)

So, this would sort of be like having a bun in the oven? LOL
