Is there any way to get the moisture out of tannerite? I was going to use some for a stage in a match and it seem moisture has ruined it.

Moisture in the mixed product or the separate components?

My dad one had that clumped up. All we did was crush it up into a powder again and then mixed the aluminum powder and it went boom when shot.

The 5 gallon buckets I had it stored in swelled when moisture got to it.

After un-clumping it, you might try adding a little bit of silica gel (kitty litter crystals) to absorb the moisture.
