Using a household microwave for small projects

[mapletree]

Some times it works and sometimes it doesn't.  Would like to hear from someone that has got it figured out.   It is stickered two to three layers but the bottom layer is never as dry as the top layer.  Am I doing something wrong or is that just the way it is?

What is "it"?

I doubt the microwaves would penetrate multiple layers. Probably have to stick with a single layer. Probably will have uneven moisture content across the piece. Need to rotate it or stop and reorient several times. It's just the way domestic microwave ovens work. You'll need to keep close check on it as it approaches the target mc or risk over drying.
