Draining fuel from a carb off the vehicle

I put my rebuilt carb on my truck yesterday, so now I've got my old carb on the counter in the garage.

I managed to pour a good amount of gas on my shoe, and some on the ground. Other than moving it around, holding it at different angles upside down and with the gas inlet facing down...anyone have any tricks (holding it a certain way, or whatever) to get all the gas out? Or least most of it.

I'll be packing it up and shipping it back to get my core refund, and just want to make sure I got as much gas out as I could.

Thanks

let it sit in open air for a day or 2. Should evaporate out.
