Default RE: Anodizing

Hi Dave,

Yes, that would make it the right grade for anodizing. Note that all the old anodizing must be stripped off first. This can reduce the part size by a few thou but it's only noticeable by way of slightly rounded edges. Takes the edge off,,,,

That gold colour though, may be a bit hard to duplicate. The Norvel head was done with a gold dye but it comes out more orange than gold. How accurate do you need the colour? I could experiment with some spare heads of my own but the grade of ally from one manufacturer to another is unknown.

Or, I could make it green, red, PURPLE [X(] etc.

PM me for more details.
