Long story short, I've been building a small awning to keep rain off my solar inverters. I had built headers, braces and rafters out of some cedar I had lying around, and had painted it to match the house.

When installing it, I realized that I had cut the ledger too short, and it has to be replaced. Not having any more cedar, I bought a couple of 2x6 pressure treated boards, which are pretty sopping wet.

They're outside now, a little in the sun and wind (we get lots here), on stickers with bricks on them, but I've been reading that it will take months for them to be dry enough to paint.

It has to be painted the house color due to SWMBO.

Is there an easy way to speed up this process that doesn't involve building a solar kiln? I guess I could install it and paint it later, but that's on a ladder leaning over the inverters, so not my preference. And parts would be painted, and parts not painted.
