doth sayeth:

observation) and out in the sun on a hot day for up to about 6 hours.

I haven't checked, but I'd suspect it might take longer than six
hours.


That was 6 hours in the sun. The cups were left on concrete blocks
forming the rim of a firepit so I just left them there until the rags
became stiff.

In any event, I wouldn't want to take chances on it not
happening.


Full agreement; I'm always very careful. I would still like to be able
to reproduce the phenomenon, though.
