hy·gro·scop·ic - Readily absorbing moisture, as from the atmosphere.

Especially at certain times of the month!

All those volotile organic solvents are lame ass. I'd be either super-critical carbon dioxide (preferably a microemulsion of water in CO2 using on fluorosurfactants) or an ionic liquid. Now those are way cool solvents that have very tunable properties depending on what you want them for.

If you want any references about them, let me know,
