if you leave it, it soaks into the styro a lot further and takes ages to come out. I have never had it come out that quick so I reckon u r onto a winner as u got to it quickly.
You should be able to get 99% of the water out, and don't worry about the amount...I used to sit it in the sun (on mild days) with the wick & turned it upside-down every hour or so & water 'poured' out of it. If you keep taking the screw out of it & wicking it when not in use it shouldn't take long to get most of the water out.
Also, when wicked in a warm place I would've thought to leave the board facing up would be better to get the water out? Upside-down seems not right when moisture will generally rise? (not sure of this but I'm sure someone here knows the answer...
Attached my newly developed vaccuum system and promptly got a further 2 teaspoons out, to add to the 4 teaspoons that came out via the paper towel the previous night.
I'm hopeful that I got the bulk out, and that a few warm days of paper towelling will finish the job.
