Boot and Glove Dryer - Dewit2it - 04-27-2006
Tired of damp stinky boots or gloves?
Get out the ShopVac, and $20 in parts at Menards, and build one of these! It will get your plush lined boots and gloves dry in a 1/2 hour. And it stops the stink as well.

If that thing gets rid of the stink after diving, I think my wife would try to put me on there...

You need a tall, gangly, caffeine addicted, freak dryer/deodorizer for that...... ;D
Oh yeah, nice dryer. One of these days I need to build one of those.

Got rained out for a test drive on my new dry gloves so...
Hubby decided to try making one of these things. Turned out pretty good. We just need the hose to connect it to a hair dryer. Will be checking out goodwill soon.
So I have to say today turned out okay even if I couldn't dive.
Thanks for the idea.

I think you want to use the blower output of a Shopvac instead. The hairdryer might melt the PVC unless it has a no heat setting. It might take a little longer as the hair dryer has less CFM than the Shopvac.
The detachable motor ones work best, also easier to take along, if you can find power or generator.
