Hello gents,

So I got an ancient Thiers-Issard frameback last week, and I'd like your opinion on dipping it in Barbicide.

I'd like to go with Barbicide because I had a blood screening scare years ago that made me paranoid with this kind of thing (I'm a regular blood donor and got a false positive in a screening).

I don't have Clippercide or other powerful disinfectant here, only thing I've got is Barbicide imported from the US.

My question is about the frame part. I know Barbicide should be in touch with the blade for no longer than 10 minutes (in fact it should be exactly 10m).

Should I remove the blade from the frame and dip only that? Or is the frame usually sufficiently tight so that liquids can't penetrate it?

Also if I rinse it underwater, how do I remove water from the frame? Or is it a non-problem?

I might find compressed air cans, but haven't so far. I do have WD-40 though.

So what's your opinion on all that?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Cheers!
