I normally wipe down stuff with acetone and that will help consume the moisture and evaporate it off. The only down side is sometimes it leaves a little residue.

Watch out for condensation while your laminate is still kicking off if you are working at night or using a resin like epoxy that has a long cure time. It will turn your laminate all cloudy and obviously affect the bond and cure. As 90% of my project was completed at night i would always watch the dewpoint.

I stored my project outside and would just run some fans and maybe one of those propane patio heaters to get the moisture out of the area i planned on working. If a clean paper towel doesn't pick up visible water, I'd wipe it with acetone and get to work.
