Hi guys,
Just done my first bit of anodising (successfully I'm happy to say!) and had a question for you experienced chaps/chapettes.
Very happy with my results, I have used caswell red bordeaux dye and sealed with their anodising sealer in boiling water (nickel acetate based) and all is good but I need to give the parts a bit of a scrub after sealing to remove a matt layer of sealant.
This leaves a nice finish, but not deep and glossy. I used some carnauba wax and it brought out a really nice finish but obviously isn't suited to areas such as the knurl where the wax would just get stuck.
This raised the question - is there anything in paticular you use/do to get a nice glossy deep finish on anodised parts that can be done at home?
Cheers
