    When I went through yesterday it was pouring and I had a hard time seeing a path through.
    It does look dry but yesterday it was over my boot. I got lucky this morning and it got to 30° last night and it got a little harder today. So I said fuck that and walked to the boys house.

    There were a few special cases.
    For me , to clean out the FF, dry, router the channel, and spray may have compromised both systems.
    Plus I did not want the plugs in a back.
    So now I can shove my water hose in and flush it out without excessive effort.
    Just going to be a two day process..

    I want to be able to get there as well. Would you allow them to touch this frame if it was yours? Doesn't seem needed.

    Gee Bill
    Should be easy to clean.
    All the crap they put on these frames and it didn’t save them I don’t know if the wax is any better..
    I can’t make that determination for you down there…
    Up here, you need something….

    We're on the "cold weather state" list. And I've certainly seen my share of rotted frames. But I take care of mine. Just worried that what they do might not be enough and/or get in the way of the things I do to take care of it.

    They will block off with plugs the front part of the frame.
    So,you have to take plugs out to inspect and do stuff.

    Yes. If not the frame, at least the body. Up here it's a mixture of liquid calcium and rock salt that they use on the roads, combined with dirt that packs it into the frame and then owners never properly clean it out. So it just sits in the frame, trapping moisture and causing corrosion.
