Buy a medium sized air pump and about four feet of plastic tubing that attaches to the pump. The pump will be mains electricity operated. Push the other end of the plastic tube through one of the bung holes and down inside the window space. Switch on and air will be blown through the void and out of the other bung hole. After a few hours it will slowly dry out. Best done on a hot sunny day. I also bought a small hygrometer (not hydrometer) from a hardware shop (cost 3 pounds) which measures air moisture. You can use the air pump when the air is at it's driest. Use a hypodermic syringe for extra-accurate application. Remove any spills with white/methylated spirits.
