Peter & all-

I will have to consult with the owner again regarding the date, the bike was treated upon initial assembly. I can also verify what was used. I purposefully left the trademark name off as there might be a question.

I was concerned that IF something could happen, caution should be advised based on that experience.

It is good to know that your product will not chemically react with plating solution residue. Unfortunately for that frame, something bad happened.

One thing I did not mention, we were also wondering what if any concern would there be with brazing flux residue left in prior to the plating? Keeping in mind that there is more than one flux chemistry.
