Re: Home-brew anodizing?
I am not sure now what I used on the setting then. I must have used the 15 amp setting, the thing will go 15, 20, 50, and 250 amps. This was so long ago I can't remember. I do know I was nervous as hell doing it and I did a ton or reading on the subject before going at it.
The RIT dye worked pretty good but is no where near good enough for something that is used. Looks good on a shelf but that is about it.

Re: Home-brew anodizing?
I'm glad that this thread resurfaced. I had just about given up on this, but maybe I will give it a go after all. Where do you guys get the aluminum wire, is it available at Lowes and Home Depot? - What department?

Doesn't Eastwood offer a kit? Or at least I thought they used to.

This guy is less than Caswell Plating and he's a fellow Pennsylvanian too.
