Mostly on high-spec (thin wall) frames which already have some rust issues, usually when i'm touching up the paint.
The chainstays are the critical area as that's where bikes usually rust out.

preferably with lead filler if you want to deaden the ringing sound of
the tubes and make the bicycle as heavy as possible for descending.
Steel frames have not been known to rust out, especially in storage.
The greatest damage to a frame comes from a seat clamp slot not being
filled with grease on assembly, this place being constantly bathed in
water from the rear wheel on wet roads without fenders. It's this
water and the failure of a frame painter not removing the newspaper or
rag plug from the seat tube after painting. Such a wick enhances
rusting enormously. Frame goop is for the paranoid.
