If you don't believe it, I have my pile rotting foam and rusted IC's
in the closet. I'll post a photo when (and if) I recover from my
latest culinary disaster.

Here's an example. My guess is about 15 years in the back of the
closet. I'll confess to having a roof leak about 10 years ago, which
may have aggravated the problem:

I don't have a sample of the foam that crumbled. Just visualize the
black foam turning to anything between dust and crumbs when moved.



you need to use some silica gel packs to remove the moisture from the
containers.
