        I agree with the first answer, provided the PCB is assembled in a
     timely fashion. If not, then proper storage conditions are essential
     to protect the subassembly from absorbing moisture. Some materials
     can absorb as much as .2% moisture. This could lead to excessive 
     expansion when subjected to high thermal excursions.
        I've always suggested a pre-bake (on parts that exhibit any issues
     during assembly or for parts that have been placed in stock for 
     extended durations) of 15 minutes per layer at 150-210'F. (This 
     temperature is dependent on what type of components are on the  PWA
     already and if so, what type of temp rating they have.)
        I know that for high layer count that the bake time could appear
     ludicrous. But these high layer counts tend to absorb the most 
     moisture and exhibit the most issues.

If you buy a good quality board you do not need to bake the board. If your
problem is out gassing increase the through hole plating to a minimum of 25um.
Should be between 30-35um. If the problem is delamination the problem is the
bonding or the pre preg.
