Whats the best filler to use?

[hooga1975]

I have a small dent in the top tube of a frame I want to get repowdered. 

I have never used any kind of body work filler before so any advice would be great

[Bigfrawg]

filler wil not take the heat of the oven when being powdered

[hooga1975]

is there any way of removing the dent then before powdering?

[Bigfrawg]

depends how big the dent is , have a word with sbd he will have the answer.

[lazychubs]

most body shops should have a welder dent puller lee or get it lead loaded

[bmxbert]

if its small enough you can build up small areas of paint in the dent then sand them back before a final coat
i asked super bike dan yesterday and he okays it so it cant be bad

If your local bike shop does frame building and spraying they my be able to fill it with brass (i think it is) and then you can get it powdered. there is a shop in derby that does it. they make one of road race bikes. they also smooth it of ready to be finished.

milliput is an epoxy based filler that will withstand very high temeratures.

google it to find out how high, and if its suitable for powdercoating.

JB Weld?

Weld fill & finish would be the best IMO (as a long term solution ) , SBD has other ways as well so bell him  .
