Do you do your own anodizing?
I have a few things I've done or had done I must get to myself if I can find my black food dye. I used to do zinc plating and anodizing for a living at a place in Silverwater (Westwood Winters) back in the early 80s, back in the day of sulphuric acid only 2 tanks away from the cyanide tank, fun job, don't breath the dust in and hose before you sweep.
I never missed the big rubber aprons, gloves and boots when I left either.
They no longer use cyanide in zinc plating I believe.


Sorry, probably a stupid question (I have lots of them), do you sandblast to increase the overall surface area for a better finish or is it just for the matt finish and better grip/feel?
