Gary, everyone has their own recipe. I personally favor using only new old stock Pep Boys private stock 40 wt motor oil smeared liberally on the frame and burned into the surface by a Tru Value propane torch , with the frame locally heated to bright red. That technique results in interesting splotches of color, where the splotches are sized and shaped as if splashed by rare ruffed grouse droppings. It makes for an interesting restoration.
