Framesaver not drying correctly?
I have a frame I'd like to treat with JP Weigle Framesave. I applied one light coat to the steer tube of a fork last weekend as a test to see how it would work, and it still hasn't dried. It's slightly tacky to the touch, about the same level of dryness as it was 3 or 4 days ago. Is this normal?
It's been sort of damp here in AZ recently, but I don't really think that's what the problem is. It seems like it'd be a bit difficult to slide a stem or seat post into a tube that's this tacky, but I guess I could just slather it up with grease. Has anybody had a similar experience? |
I had a couple of questions regarding FrameSaver, so I called the Co.
JP is a very helpful guy! Call him! :D 1-(806) 434-0700 in Conneticut. Not toll-free, but worth the dime. ;) |
Never used it in a steerer tube, as there should be enough grease in there to keep it from rusting. I do not think it is supposed to dry completely, but never really looked to see. I just roll it around in the frame then build the bike.

Does that mean that it's done? Or that it needs to cure for longer?
