Appenzellersun, first anodizing, free offer

Post by swisswalter »

Hi Modders

having more and more adapters custom made, I had to learn how to anodise Aluminium


here my first piece

rotanodisiert_small.jpg

I can do now:

red, blue, green, colorless and black

I offer to every member of that board free anodizing of the parts (but please do not send a whole car ;-) )

The only costs you cover is sending the parts to me. The rest is a big thank you for all your help


have sun, have fun

Hi Mark


thank you very much for your kind offer. I'll come back on that. I found out only laetely that my paper mounting of the LUNT square is not really square to the optical train. That is one reason I can't hold up to your CaK shots ;-)

Nice offer, Walter.

FYI, I received some quotes for anodizing a small aluminium part for a new scope (more to come on this) and the minimum charge was £50. I ended up painting it.
