Anyone tried using linseed oil? It's interesting because it dries into a gummy layer - people have been using it for centuries to protect metals and woods. If you heat up the frame with a hairdryer, then oil with hot oil, it should soak into the pores a bit better (like seasoning (oiling) a cast-iron pan).
Will have to do some testing soon.
