clay recycling-radiant heat floors

I am in the process of building my new studio. Would someone please comment
on how their radiant heat floor affects their clay? I am concerned that if
I use plaster bats, my clay might dry out quicker than I can keep up with
it.

Right now I just dump in 5 gallon buckets and siphon the water off when
full, no heat involved. Then I spread out and let dry on the concrete
floor. However, I am getting ready to make some plaster bats on wheels to
use instead of the floor. I need to be able to move the recycle out of the
way.

Thanks,
Nikki Simmons
