Best anodizing guide?

one of these stone air things from fish tanks.

That'll be an air stone ;-)

Made me smile as it reminded me of a minibus driver I had last week, who took it upon himself to act tour guide.
"This used to be the mine weighbridge, where they used to weigh things coming out the mine"

Worked really well. The larger bubbles before sometimes caused me issues but this is great.

Not 100% there yet. More practice and experimenting me thinks.

Yeah so with that, to do 4.5asf as per caswell guide you would mix 1L of that to 3L distilled water.

You can get 1L of 98% sulphuric acid on amazon for that price, but there is an argument to be made that buying battery acid is safer. Sulphuric Acid Pure (H2SO4) Min. 98% 1*Litre https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013T3EO..._Nk74zbXPCQA3M

If you go the 98% route needless to say you need to be effing careful with it, especially when mixing with water.

Yea I only got chemical gloves and glasses. No HEV suit...

Happy to just get the 33%.

you could sell your excess as 1kg bags of it on ebay and probably make a tidy little profit :)

That is what I am thinking :p

Looks like you can get some nice results laser etching powder coated stuff....

Might be tempted to try it out at some point, easier than messing around with large amounts of acid solution... just need to build an oven big enough for the larger parts but that's easy enough to DIY I would think.

Yea it is the best part of it.
Especially for my use case where I want the logo and serial there but stealth like.

So want to do my van's wheels now with this stuff xD

If you're looking to jump straight into anodizing aluminum without the hassle of trial and error, I found a guide that’s pretty straightforward and comprehensive. It covers all the essentials and even some advanced tips, which might be exactly what you need: https://beskamold.com/a-complete-gui...num-anodizing/
