Default Long Term Storage - Best Practices

I've a number of vintage glow engines, used and new, two & four stroke, that need to be well stored (as in preserved). Consensus seems to be clean the engine, lubricate with air tool oil and ATF (cylinder, carb & crankcase), and seal in a zip lock bag. I had been wrapped the engine in a paper towel after lubrication, then putting the wrapped engine in the zip lock bag, but now I'm wondering if the paper won't soak up the oil and /or attract moisture (zip lock bags are not perfect seals, after all).

Any opinions? Should I forget about the paper towel wrap?
