Visible marks doesn't mean it's still damp necessarily. The damp will have moved anything soluble around with it which usually means you can still "see" it after it's dry.

I put a hairdryer on it and it dried further, so I’m not convinced it is fully dry

Looking back at the old photo I hadn’t realised it’s way better
