Daniel,
"Some simple green...". Are you talking about money, it's never simple to
come by! ;)
After this talk about POR-15, I think I'll go this route with my '68 frame. I've
got the pressure washer (and I'll pick up a bucket of green wash), and lots of
rubber gloves. I've read the talk about using disposable brushes with POR-15.
Is there any way to blow the stuff into the inside cavities of the frame? The
last frame I chopped up showed lots of nooks and crannies full of rust. I don't
think I (or anyone else) can afford to dip the frame into this stuff.
Fred - So.SF
