Yeah, you can actually wrap a whole frame and fork and use only 6 or 7 ounces of evaporust. Just wrap that paper towels in a spiral fashion and cut a handful up into thinner strips to attach where tubes meet in the corners. Throw the frame into a couple trash bags and leave it.
I did this for a frame that was really scratched- just dozens of chips and whatnot that were bare metal deep and had been left out in the elements. The rust wasn't deep, but it was all over the frame.
