It's so easy at home! You probably have a suitable acid in either your kitchen, medicine cabinet or garage. Lots of safe materials that can go down the drain, and they give slightly different results. Just degrease well for an even finish.
(I suppose the biggest expense is 9volts or a power supply but I am a guitar player so I just use my mostly spent pedal ones)
- eth0up 1y agoI used a few 9v batts and PhDown. I didn't tweak the voltage for any specific colors, but just aimed for a protective coating. The results were disappointing and probably produced more value in hydrogen than anodization. I might try again if I ever craft something else of aluminum that requires protection.
- anton-c 1y agoAluminum is more challenging, I meant ti if I wasn't totally clear. I hope to do it someday too tho.
