Spray, flip frame over afew times, repeat as necessary until you have it dripping out of every vent and tube. Hang frame, let dry/drain overnight, wipe down bottom bracket shell threading (it's going to get greased), shake out excess if possible, and assemble bike.
+1. Why take any chances? Last year I built up a LHT and used frame saver. It's worth the few dollars and a little time to do it right. I even did it to my BoB trailer. No regrets.
