Something else to worry about. I heard that heat will rapidly advance the
rusting process.

Subject: More frame interior stuff -- powder coat
List,
Every time someone talks about powder coating the frame, they say to first
sandblast the frame clean of all rust. I never hear anyone say just powder
coat over the rust -- no problem.
>From that I assume powder coat does not kill or maybe does not even adhere
very well to rust. If that is true, then what about the interior of the
frame??? How do I sandblast the interior of the frame clean of all rust
spores? I think I can't, and if I can't, I don't think I should cover it
over with powder coat. Said another way, if it's not a problem to cover over
the rust on the frame interior with powder coat, them why not just knock off
the loose scale and cover over the frame exterior rust with powder coat as
well.
What about the oil and dust and dirt that may be inside the frame?? Does
powder coat stick to that as well?
I'm starting to have some serious doubts about powder coat and frames --
looks nice on the outside but something doesn't ring true in terms of what's
going on in the frame's interior.
Seems to me that what's going on in the inside is a much bigger concern that
the outside.
Yes/No/Comments??????
