I've found that hot water gets it off about as well as anything. But
nothing seems to remove ALL of it.

I have a bunch of old ICs that were stored in
conductive foam, and I
wish to move them to plastic tubes. The foam has decayed to that state
where it just crumbles when touched. Any recommendations for cleaning
off this old foam? It can be scraped off, to some degree, with
fingernails, but I risk bending the pins, and it's not all that thorough.
Soaking them in alcohol is probably not a good idea. :)
