The heat in the oven isn’t what you need to be worried about, it’s the heavy handed operator of the blasting equipment who is more used to smashing his way through thick layers of paint and rust on a handrail that’s made of tubing that’s about 10x as heavily walled as bicycle tubing. He’ll **** your day/frame up in a heartbeat.Chatting to the lads in my local bike shop yesterday and posed the question in conversation. It's not a Giant Concept store but a pretty oldschool shop I may add.
Is it safe to blast and powdercoat a fillet brazed frame, I'd always thought it damages the brass.
One said no problem, one said no way
What's the consensus?
Also I’m of the opinion that powder coat is about the most harmful thing you can do to a steel frame but I know that’s an unpopular opinion.
