It could certainly get pricey if you needed to build a whole plant to handle wetting, drying, cooling, screening, bagging or bulk storage etc. Due to the likelyhood of way too much moisture in the winter months this is probably something you need to do in the summer and then store until the winter months... can't just make'em as you need'em in the winter.

I wonder how long you get on the dies before they need to be replaced.
