Great tip about the packing peanuts, my wife has been saving them for me for some time now so I went out and picked out a few different types to test and sure enough some dissolve! I wonder what else is cheap, abundant, and closed cell foam to stuff the drums with.

Surely there is a pile of something in a factory somewhere destined for the dumpster!
