Default Re: Larger anodizing tanks, 20 gallon or so

If you ask me, when you stripped the original anodizing off this drop forward, it would appear the you pretty much rinsed it and went straight to the anodizing tank. There doesn't appear to have been any surface preperation done to this part other than the strip.

I forget who said it, though I'm sure we've all said it at one time or another but as the saying goes : "Garbage in, garbage out". Meaning that quality of the part(s) being anodized will only be as good as the surface preperation that went into them prior the anodizing. Type II anodizing (for appearance) is ALL about prep work...
