From the album: Aluminium anodising
The idea was for a large external box capable of taking large batteries that would provide realistic rates of fire for a sustained duration. A prototype was made but needed some colouring, painting was thought about but anodising was suggested and implemented. Heres the semi completed box, minus weaver rail and top RIS rail, it has the bottom RIS and a quick release handgrip fitted.© © typren

And its now fitted and looking good IMHO. Solid tight fit, all rails and base in perfect alignment with the body etc.© © typren

Looking good so far, the metal has absorbed the dye well and has a authentic gun metal appearance.© © typren

Remove from water, its very hot and will dry in no time, handle with a soft cloth and give it a gentle rub for 5 minutes. Ive not tried beeswax yet to give it a shine but will soon and report back.© © typren

Boil deionised water and hang the part in the steam for 5 minutes and then hard boil for a good 30-45 minutes, this will seal in the dye. Some colour will leach into the water.© © typren

The heart of the operations. Plastic tank that used to hold cd's, a piece of lead of someones roof and a cb radio power supply. Tank has a 50/50 mix with 12% sulfuric acid to diluted water, sits on a reptile heat pad to get it to the right 20c temperature. Once in the tank do not mess with the aluminium wire holding the piece as this will affect conductivity. Turn on the power!© © typren

After causticing? the piece needs rinsing in diluted water then a hot soapy wash in a potty! to get rid of the other smuts. Wash with a soft cloth for 5minutes.© © typren

I cleaned up the piece and put it in a plastic tub with a caustic solution, left it in for about 7-10 minutes until the shine had gone and it had turned a dull colour. Note - you shouldnt keep the sulfuric acid so close to the caustic.© © typren

Stripped down to the bare aluminium, no other metals can be anodised using this process. Anodised Aluminium box profile, holes drilled and aluminium wire secured through both holes for good conductivity and security.© © typren
