I agree with Chris..............  I've restored numerous Heath, Collins and
other boatanchors and have encountered the yellow stuff frequently.  Not to be
confused with the military MFP (moisture - fungus proofing) that is present in
most older mil gear.

Depending on which part(s) are affected, cleaning can range from steel wool
to wiping carefully with solvent, vinegar, etc...............

Gud luck
