Re: Diy Anodizing
What were you going for David? Something darker in a different color? In your picture the anodizing looks pretty universal without discoloring.
What was your process?
Qu’est-ce que tu allais faire pour David ? Quelque chose de plus sombre dans une couleur différente?Dans votre image, l’anodisation semble assez universelle sans décoloration.Quel a été votre processus?

Re: Diy Anodizing
do not need to Eric the Aluminum Oxide Layer (anodising) David is doing is the exact same way commercial anodizers do it. Once the Dye is sucked into the capillary tubes of the oxide it is mostly impervious to most solvents until deliberately chemically or mechanically stripped
