You say it's money floating away, but on a tight schedule that minute you save not messing with a tarp is money too. That dust is mostly just a nuisance, it settles fast. We all know we should wear a mask anyway for the silica.

Reminds me of a local creek cleanup where we pulled a shopping cart out of the mud. That stuff travels miles from some parking lot to end up there. It's all connected, which is the depressing part.

That "top of the fridge" trick is a game changer. I always tried to keep mine in a perfect spot on the counter, but a little extra warmth really does speed things up. Your post just fixed my next starter.
