Opinions on frame saver

Frame saver is good stuff if you have a steel bike. Best suggestion is to start with a bare frame --
though that may be obvious. Be somewhere with good ventilation, cause the stuff is pretty noxious.

I start with the frame right side up (bottom bracket down) and stuff some rags or paper towels into
the bottom bracket and into the head tube. Then spray into the seat tube pretty liberally, and into
the top tube through the seat collar area. Stuff some rags into the seat collar opening, and start
rotating the frame around to spread the stuff all through the tubes. The rags will soak up a bunch
of extra fluid.

Then turn the frame over so the bottom bracket is up. Keep rags in the seat collar opening and in
the head tube (or replace them if they're really soaked). Spray into the downtube and chainstays
through the bottom bracket opening. Stuff rags back into the bottom bracket and start rotating the
frame around again.

Then use the little straw to get into the seatstays and fork tubes through the little vent holes.

No matter how careful you are, you will have some of the stuff oozing out the vent holes, or
whatever, and it will get on the paint. Don't worry about it. It cleans up off the paint pretty
easily with WD-40.

It works! Apply Frame Saver where you don't mind making a mess, NOT on the carpet! It's pretty runny
right out of the can. Squirt it in one tube at a time, turning the frame around, over, etc. to get
the stuff everywhere, then apply to the next tube. Make sure you coat the inside of the bottom
bracket. Have a rag handy to clean up. When dry, it seems to cling tenaciously to metals. I use it
in all my steel bikes.

best is USED automobile oil spread thruought tubes with a turkey baster. Think about what rain does
when it hits your driveway's many mini oil spots...
