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?

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.
