Although not on-topic, some of the white foam boxes used to pack rifles will absorb oil...I have an old Norinco foam box for an AK-47 copy I bought back in the 70's that is used to hold a newer AK clone and the foam has absorbed some of the oil on the rifle...Doesn't seem to be breaking the foam down, but taking oil away from the rifle was not my intent...
