I keep thinking of things, SORRY
I said this in the other thread, but I will repeat it.
If you are really unsure of the anther drying thing then you can just swab the pollen onto the end of a Q-tip and place the Q-tip into the vial; cut the stick short enough to fit in the vial but long enought to be right at the opening of the vial. You can put it cotton side up and that way you just open the vial and dab the pollen. You can also put it stick side up and then pull it out with forceps and hold it with the forceps while pollenating. The Q-tip will hold lots of pollen.
To make it easier you may need to put another Q-tip behind the anther when swabbing or it may fall off while doing it. Or you can hold the anther with tweezers while do it.
So many ways to do it.
That's where I get my vials also, Earthstarproducts
