I'd like to try anodizing and have been searching the web for examples. My kid just picked up a mini-lathe and is 'modding' yoyo's and want's to anodize the parts after, and I'd like to do a lower...
Here is the
general process I found that seems to lay it out in simple terms.
Now for my immediate questions:
Is a gallon distilled water jug a suitable Polyethylene container for the Sulfuric acid?
What can be reused and what needs to be new each time? ie. Can the acid bath be reused? How about the AL wire? Or are these one and done
In some instructions I see the use of a lead plate, and not an Aluminum foil loop. Any idea why or what the differences would be?
Can multiple parts be done at the same time? If so, what is the limitation?
Then the dye. I see people using Rit, is that 'good enough'? And can it be reused? Once. twice, 10 times?
Any advice, links, or YouTube's would be appreciated.
