Frame - powder coating...

[pigafetta]

Hiya

Possibly a dumb-ass question but...

Prior to getting a frame sandblasted and powder coated, whats the best way to mask off the bearing seats in the headstock and the various bolt holes etc? The lat time i got one done, the bloke did it for me but he missed a few and it was a right bugger to dig all the powder coat out afterwards.

Thanks,

Dave B

In the past , I have used a long length of bar...2 LARGE washers & 2 nuts.....
Bar through the headstock, big washers , then a nut each end & tighten away !!!!!

Bolt holes , screw in a sacrificial bolt, or fill with silicone sealer...
