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

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.

Yes.

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

Read the original questions. My answer would be yes and yes.
