I know that heating wet filament in the oven is the best way to dry it, and that desiccant is typically used to keep filament dry, but will it also eventually dry a spool that has been sitting out in a humid environment? If so, how long would this typically take?

For example, I have a 1kg spool of tightly-wound PLA sitting out at 55% RH for months. If I put it in an airtight container with sufficient desiccant, will it eventually become dried? And how long would it take?

    As the other poster said, there are dessicant products that are at the very least advertised in a way that suggests this works. You can buy them from the marine section of a hardware store.
