Default Water in the spark ports! fun stuff

So I did a really awesome job of cleaning out my engine, but the method of sealing off the sparkholes i used seems to have failed and i do have a small amount of water in there. at this point it runs but once the water begins to evaporate and condense on the contacts it will start missing like crazy, as one would expect! Any suggestions on how to get some of that water out of there, aside from waiting it out?

Also! I encourage everyone here to give me a good old flaming for making such a dumbass mistake! even though i still cant figure out how the **** my seals leaked. oiiii.

I went the papertowels + screwdriver route. its just moist but its taking ******* FOREVER because of this rediculously unvegas like weather we're having here in vegas, as srcivic97 knows. ^_^

It runs good though, I just take it out for like 10 minutes then pull the plugs and the moisture is quickly evaporating from the heat.
