Any recent experience with drying a piece with isopropyl alcohol?

I searched this subreddit for drying green wood soaking the piece in isopropyl alcohol (IA). Yup, as predicted, my head is swimming. As best I can tell, I can rough turn a bowl, put it in a 5-gal bucket, weight it down and cover with IA, put the lid on the bucket, and come back in a day or so. Retrieve the piece, let it drain/dry, and check for moisture %. I have questions.

1. Is there any use in trying to remove the displaced water from the alcohol bath in the bucket? Or do you just keep topping off the liquid level to ensure it covers the piece to be dried?

2. This may be too anal retentive, but there seems to not be any effective way to let the IA-soaked piece drain back into the bucket. The IA bucket should always have a lid on it to keep it from evaporating, so absent a DIY screen in the bucket above the liquid line and below the lid line, this would seem to be working at cross purposes.

3. Do you put the newly-dried piece into a paper bag to let the IA evaporate from the piece? For those who have tried, what is your experience with how long to leave it in the bag? Is it just the occasional remove-and-weigh approach?

4. Is this even worth the effort? It seems to turn drying from months into days and have minimal (?) risk to cracking.

Thanks for any comments you have.
