I've never tried that type nor heard of it but I used to get the blocks from IKEA that were about £2 or something and called Kokosnot and when you soaked them they expanded massively. I would say if it's damp it will be ok, you can always spray it with water afterwards anyway. I don't know if IKEA still sells it
