Next time I think I'll powder coat and then use framesaver?
I expect the heat did indeed melt out most of the Frame Saver coating but, of course, it can be redone at any time. It's work to do it right as the frame should be stripped nearly bare and then the cleanup afterward is a bit messy but I think it's worth the trouble for the peace of mind. BTW, kerosene or OMS will remove the overspray and drips very well and shouldn't damage the powdercoat at all.
