Planning on performing some aluminium anodising at home? Here is how:
Before you start:
-Finish your piece properly. Anodizing will not cover up imperfections. Clean and smooth all surfaces. Ideally prepare with caustic soda solution until it is peroperly greyed.
-Cover working area with something disposable in case of spillage. Keep a bucket of alkali handy to neutralise the acid should an emergency occur.
-Make sure you adhere to proper safety protocols – safety glasses, overcoat, gloves, etc. Be safe!
-Allow only lead or aluminium to be suspended in the acid solution!
