[Francesco Ledda]

You are spot on! A night cooking in the oven at 200F will do the trick!

 From memory, which is not always reliable at my age:

I seem to remember that carbon comps are hygoscopic, meaning they absorb 
moisture. If you have a stock of NOS carbon comps that have drifted 
high, try baking them in the oven. 300 for a couple hours ought to do it.
