i wonder if it would be possible to spray linseed oil onto the insides of the frame tubes in the same manner that framesaver is applied? can you buy inexpensive disposable paint sprayers with long wands for this type of application?

It works well, the amount of scratching is relative to the grade of steel wool, how well and what its lubricated with and the amount of pressure applied.

You are correct. I thought it would be an interesting test regardless of the inteneted/improper application.
