Don't forget that you can remove anno with Greased Lightning .

Just submerge the item in a container with just enough liquid to cover and wait . You may have to change the Greased lightning once or twice to completely remove all of the anno . As soon as all of the anno has been disolved rinse the part in hot running water . This method is less harmful to the aluminum parts than lye .

( It's a weak nitric acid solution .)

Greased Lightning - that's good to know.

Wonder how hard it is to do your own annodizing. Could be interesting.

Been kinda looking into this ... not that I might do it, just very curious. Lots of info on DIY anodizing, doesn't seem all that hard for a HAII. And tons of colors one can do using simple clothes dye that would be sweet on the right host! One of the better, more professional sites I visited with good info is here Gotta love his red to black fade anno job on the bottom of the page .... would be perfect for any multi-emitter custom light... or anything Match does!

yeah I was going to use oven cleaner to remove the ano but it was such a small part and I had time to burn so I decided to sand it off..the wife hates it when I stink it up with chemicals lol

Sanding has serious advantages over sodium hydroxide. It isn't nearly as nasty when it burns you for one....

Believe me, I know!

And have the scars....

:(

ouch!

The nastiest thing I've ever tasted is Ferric Chloride, I managed to get some on my finger while making PCB's without noticing and then put my finger in my mouth.

It's not a condiment I'd recommend :P

tasty!! :)

Tell that to the guy with the belt sander ..

Maybe I shouldn't have watch that horror movie ..

if thy have acid or a belt sander (power tools in general)..I'm singing like a canary..call me mr. snitch

had my pain for the week.

It is also, if memory serves, toxic.
