Read some of the posts/forums he was in on the subject, and a lot of 
talk about what is lost, and the conditions, as well as surface 
re-applications of plasticizers.

I didn't happen to see instances of reversal of the scenario, however, 
placing an out-gassing high temperature formed plastic into a low 
pressure/temperature atmosphere, being placed into an atmosphere of the 
lost material, at high concentrations, temperatures, pressures, et 
cetera.  Maybe it's in some forums I didn't come across.

I'm still sure there's a way, might not be the most practical for a 
hobbyist in a condo, working on a dining room table, but it can't be too 
difficult.

Leave a sponge on a table on a hot day, it dries up and shrinks.  Place 
it on a table in a fog, and it gets damp and swells.  Seems one needs 
the right type of fog.
