basicaly, when you dip a frame the whole inside of the tube are flooded therefore cleaning them

and gegreasing them, it's just part of the process that has to be done,

i really wouldn't worry about it, blow out any loose bits with an airline and tbh it will take years to

eat through from the inside, if it ever will, think you will find it just loose surface rust and nothing else,

also could be residue from the acid tank that has now dried out :daumenhoch:
