Cilian\'s \"absolutely dry\" is a correct translation. In the pulp and paper industry, however, \"bone-dry\" is a frequently used term.

My apologies. I agreed with Cilian\'s term, which is a valid one. Subsequently I realized it was not the term I more commonly used in this context (I have used both). And I admit I did not see your comment at the time.
