Introduction
A tutorial explaining how to dry paintball equipment safely using airflow-based methods that preserve foam, padding, electronics, and fabrics.
Key Points
- Covers airflow drying for soft and hard goods.
- Teaches moisture-prevention habits for foam and straps.
- Shows how to dry markers and loaders without heat.
- Explains the risks of high-temperature drying.
- Supports long-term hygiene and equipment longevity.
Details
This guide teaches beginners how to remove moisture from equipment without damaging sensitive materials. Soft goods such as pads and gloves are laid flat or hung to dry in a ventilated space.
Markers and loaders are wiped dry and placed with open compartments to promote air circulation. Players avoid using heat sources like radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight since high temperatures can warp plastics, damage foam, and weaken adhesives.
A simple fan setup accelerates drying without risk. Proper ventilation prevents odor buildup and material degradation, especially after humid sessions.
