I should be flogged with a red spray extender tube... I use LPS-3 on the frame tubes I store, as they wait their turn for a frame build. It is less stinky then Frame Saver is. I've not yet tried Frame Saver on the tube's OD so can't speak to any wetting out/spreadability/drying time as compared to LPS-3. But one aspect that Frame Saver claims is the ability for it's vapor to coat tube ID surfaces that the wet and flowing stuff doesn't reach. (I do rotate the frame/fork through various angles to give the wet stuff the best chance to coat the inside nocks and crannies). The last comment is I've read of farmers spraying their implements with a kerosene/wax solution. To slow down the rust as the harvester (or whatever) sits in the north forty waiting it's season to be used. Andy
