Can brazed tube frame be powdercoated??
 

Hey guys, I'm planning on tackling a tuber build soon and was wondering if the brazing would withstand the heat of powdercoating? The process is bake it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, would that heat effect the finished framework or not? If not I guess I could try to weld it instead of brazing but brazing would be a little more convenient "thumbsup"

I've powdercoated a lot of silver soldered tubework as well. No problems.

OK awesome!! I just wasn't sure if the solder would hold up to heat for that extended period of time.

Wow, thats a clean looking nerf...powdercoating is baked on at 400 degrees for around 15 minutes so as long as it dont melt at that temperature than your good to go...
