Anodising at home
« on: February 14, 2008, 07:44 AM »
I've not had much luck finding a local anodiser and used to know a guy who built his own anodizing kit to do his Radio Control parts so it prompted me to trawl the web last night for Anodising kits and came across this one:-

http://www.caswelleurope.co.uk/anodise.htm

Now I'm no expert but is this looks like good value to me if you only want to do smallish bike parts. Any thoughts?

aparrently it can be quite dangerous but i suppose if you know what your doing you could pull it off , could be a serious distraction from bikes though full time hobby i reckon
