I believe the spray / material was developed for and used by the US Navy. I would treat the frame prior to building it up and then periodically re apply to your seat tube ( 1 or 2x / year) which tends to be a problem area for steel frames (condensation / moisture forming and dripping down the inside of the seat tube). Follow the directions and rotate the frame and invert with a rag stuffed in the top of the tube to get the framesaver covering the entire inside of the seat tube.</p> <p>Nasty stuff though. Apply outside if possible (good ventilation) and wear eye protection and gloves when applying. If you maintain your CrMo frame with frame saver it will last a very long time.</p> <p>Good luck - Steel is real! </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7933#post-11500 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:55:21 +0000 Domestique 11500@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm getting ready to start building a classic Guerciotti road bike (Columbus SL steel tubing), and was wondering if any of you guys that are into the old school steel frames ever use a rust inhibitor spray (JP Wiegle Framesaver) or similar?</p> <p>Do they work or are they just snake oils? Thanks for the info.</p> <p>D. </p>
