Re: Anodizing

We bought a kit last year and tried it out in the off season. Kinda cool, we used a battery charger from the school's auto shop and did some small pieces of aluminum. We got some unequal coloring, so it is important that the etching process is done correctly. We learned that is something we don't want to be bothered with during the build season, a professional shop can do a much better job anyways.
