I don't find "spinning" to be that helpful as it is quite thick. Rather do the BB, then plug with towels, do the head tube/plug, seat tube/plug and then the smaller openings. Leave standing upright leaning one way (in the sun if possible) then invert and lean the other way, then on each end, etc. <br /><br />It's both pungent and messy, so ideally do it outdoors on a nice day.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771560618275750914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-42707217643822680592014-02-26T12:17:56.004-05:002014-02-26T12:17:56.004-05:00I have used frame-saver for years.

You can buy it in Europe as well. I have no affiliation to the company.

Just being ensure to remove any residual moisture which you don't want trapped in there by any treatment.
