ANODIZING FORUM STICKY


The 720 Rule & PAR are DONE!


which confirms the last posting here



With all do respect mcaswell the post above is what I'm directly debating (and also the instructions for LCD), because instructions like these although they simplify the process, over simplify it to the point that you are stating that "anodizing SHALL take X minutes" no if's and's or but's.
The manual for LCD says the same thing (last time I looked). Put your parts in the bath adjust the current to x amps per square inch and you SHALL wait 90 minutes.
I can appreciate you need to make it simple for people but I personally don't want to wait around for 90 minutes for a tiny little part to finish anodizing when I don't have to (and my equipment - even the LCD equipment) will do it faster.
I think there is a benefit to point out that the 720 rule is a formula that can be adjusted to suit the equipment capabilities and the patience of the user - and still get good results.
