A hair dryer works very well to test how far the retting has gone. Otherwise, waiting several hours can change the condition of your flax in the water.
Yes, that is true. However back in the day that is how it was done. I'd rather not waste electricity if I don't really have to and from my past work doing this I never found that a single day made much of a difference as I am testing daily.
I really appreciate you showing the flax retting process and progress. These videos have been very helpful to me.
