TO ALL INTERESTED IN ANODIZING,
THE BEST INFO. ON DIY ANODIZING
IS WWW.CASWELLPLATING.COM . YOU CAN PURCHASE THE COMPLETE PLATING MANUAL FOR
ABOUT 10.00 ,READ THE SECTION ON ANODIZING AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF IF DIY
ANODIZING IS WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. IT COVERS 3 TYPES OF
ANODIZING,GENERAL PURPOSE,HARD,AND COLOR. THE MANUAL ALSO COVERS JUST ABOUT
ANY TYPE OF PLATING IMAGINABLE. THE TEXT IS WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR THE NOVICE
PLATER.I HAVE BEEN HARD COLOR ANODIZING NOW FOR OVER 3 YEARS.I MAKE CUSTOM
CNC MACHINED FOLDING KNIVES.THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF 6061-T6 ALUM. I USE
ORGANIC DYES "RIT" EXCEPT FOR BLACK,I USE CASWELLS BLACK DYE, IF YOU PREFER
THEY HAVE A GOOD ASSORTMENT OF COLORS.I PURCHASE ALL MATERIALS FROM THEM
EXCEPT FOR THE ACID,WHITCH IS PURCHASED AT ANY AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORE.
MY TANK IS 24"L X 10"W X 10"D ABOUT 4.5 GAL. I CAN ANODIZE 10 PAIRS OF
HANDLES AT ONCE. THE COMPLETE SETUP COST ME UNDER $600.00. THE ONLY REASON I
STARTED MY OWN ANODIZING WAS THE QUICK TURN AROUND TIME.
HAPPY ANODIZING RICK
