Dear Mr. Onella: Thanks for the suggestion. I shall ask for it in the
local marine supply store.

Foam is not a good idea. It can become very difficult to remove.

Best is to use cooper wool. It will not rust nor flake and beasties
do
not eat it. The stuff has become hard to find, however.

Marine supply stores sell bronze wool. I think the boaters use it for
cleaning brass fittings, presumably without scratching them. (I used it
as
EMI packing for some leaky old pull-boxes.)

It may be close enough to copper wool to function the same.
