    Handling after ano bath??

    Good morning everyone,

    I have been anodizing for a bit now, and I would like to start adding a bit more art to the parts. One idea that I had, was to stamp the part with a rubber stamp coated in rubber cement. The problem I for see, is how do I support, or handle the part while stamping? Can I touch the part with my bare hand after coming out of the anodizing bath, or can I use a glove or something else?

    What are some thoughts on this?

    Thanks

    Yep, just wear some nitrile gloves. If you know someone who works at a hospital, just have them snag you a box . Automotive and chemical places should also carry them.

    So gloves protect the ano surface from oil from skin? Will latex gloves work?

    What are some other effective ways to apply letters or symbols to fresh ano?

    Thanks for the help so far.

    If you have the means, a small vinyl plotter is a pretty handy way to do graphic masks. I use a Pro-cut CR-630, but if I had it to do over, I might go a little more high end.

    Sometimes, even when wearing gloves you may leave a mark. I try not to touch the raw ano at all. I handle the parts by the racking wire, and lay it on a clean rag to work a side.
    I do things.

    True- and I should add too that if anyone uses a vinyl plotter for graphics, I have found that trimming the application tape close to the graphic is a good idea, as well. The adhesive doesn't appear to leave any residue on a part, but it still interferes with dye absorbing into the anodic layer. Handling by the racking is the ideal way to go, and it is worth using a couple of points of contact to make a more stable rack on the part where that is possible.
