Would have liked more of a fillet around the badge but it's on there and seems to be pretty solid! Think I'm hitting the limits of the Mapp torch not, really struggled to get and keep this all hot. At one point I had my Mapp torch in one hand, on the inside of the headtube, a butane torch in the other on the outside and was holding/feeding the brazing rod with my mouth.
Applied a tin of Halford's rustproofing primer and then 2 coats of satin black, left to dry and then tried to scrape the paint off the headbadge. Should have left it longer though as the paint was still soft and I've pulled a load of it off the headtube. Bit concerned about how easily it's peeling up and the finish wasn't the best so going to drop it in for powdercoat in the morning.
Any suggestions of the best way to strip the powdercoat off the headbadge once I get it back? Razor blade?
