cheap way to blacken aluminum ?.
since googoo groups is dysfunctional right now, it's ok to email me about this, since I can't currently read posts post 7-29.
I have 48 Al rods, 5/16" by about 66" that I want to blacken (not anodize or paint). I have a patina solution that seems to work ok but I want a cheaper way , and maybe one that works better. I vaguely remember Al turning black after cola drink or orange juice got spilled on it , and have a piece sitting in some diet pepsi right now, not doing much . alrightey then... Dar |

Dar http://www.google.com/search?q=casey+aluminum+black click..and you shall learn the secrets of the universe......... -- "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince". |
