Are there any things I should do during it - take it out from time to time and wipe it down, for instance? Anything that needs to be done post bath? I have frame saver for the inside. I'm using the KISS method, so the simpler the recommendations the better. I don't see myself boiling linseed oil and keeping up with keeping the outside of the frame coated with it, unless that's truly what it will take.
Thanks all!
Once rust has been removed via the OA bath, I typically neutralize it by soaking in a mixture of baking soda and water, then thoroughly drying, then using frame saver. No need to disturb the part while soaking in OA -- just let the OA do its work.
