this question has nothin to do with anodizing, but maybe you could help me out, im trying to galvanize some screws and i know the basic stuff of this, but i would like to know if there is somewhere i can learn more about it, or maybe caswell has some kit i havent heard of.

Galvanizing involves dipping parts in molten zinc, hardly something you can do at home, but I suspect what you really want is to zinc plate them, not galvanize them.

i galvanized some stuff in my sciece class. its similar to anodizing but i dont remember the details. i think that it was just sulfuric acid and zinc but dont quote me i could be wrong.

That would be zinc plating.
