Awww...we're all here to help each other

Like I said, most of us, at some point, have gotten water into the crown

I use paper towel in a similar way to just remove water I've acidentally got into the crown. It happens quite often, but I tip it out then dab with paper towel to absorbe the moisture. I also try and water in the morning so that any I can't get with the paper towel will evaporate.
