Avoiding build marks?

Daft question ::)

Any tips on preventing build up marks on a freshly powdered frame and forks? Obviously don't tighten everyting (or don't build at all!!) but any other techniques, or have I got to bite the bullet and just accept that they'll occur :(

Cheers

i got some rubber washers from the plumbers, fitted them in both sides of the wheel nuts (4 per wheel ) before fitting the wheels. the same can be done for the brakes too. plastic washers would also be good. still use your metal washers as this will stop the rubber / plastic washers binding up.

another idea i had but haven't tried is to use vehicle vinyl, the same vinyl use for graphics. it comes in most colours and if fitted right, you wouldn't see it. using this method i would still fit the components lightly
