Hi there,
 
If anyone would like a free copy of the paper referenced below, please email me a request and I'll send it to you.  My univ. library subscribes to that journal so I don't have to pay the ridiculous prices that the publishers set for individual articles.
 
  cheers,

  Salt will dry out the cob faster, but that may come at a cost of the
durability of the cob. Maybe interfering with the sand and clay joining
together.

I found a research paper regarding salt and the way it affects building
materials, and how the negative effects can me mitigated. The bad thing is
it costs $31, but it might prove to be worth the cost for those wanting to
dry cob out faster.
