Review of the JP Weigles Frame Saver Aerosol Can **ORM-D**:
It doesn't take too much Frame Saver to treat your precious steel frame. A can of this product should last for some time. Application can be a little messy, if not thought through thoroughly before hand. I personally like to stuff some shop towels in the BB shell, as well as the bearing races in the head tube. One of my favorite "tricks" when applying this product is to place foam earplugs in the seat and chain stays. Then I shoot in the Frame Saver through the vent holes (follow the directions on the can), and cover the vent holes with masking tape. The earplugs expand and seal off the holes to the seat tube and BB shell. You can really coat the inside of your frame this way. When you're sure that you have coated the tubes thoroughly, pull the earplugs and control the flow for clean up purposes. You can also do this with the main and down tubes. The hardest part of using this product is the prep and clean up. Everything else is really K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid). And it works great.
