    Clear Anodizing Producing Poor Finish

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had the anodizer redo it and it came back much better than before. No water spots, just some marks due some physical marks on the existing extrusion when we sent it to them. Skylerf- You spoke about some surface conditioning. Can you elaborate? I was going to...

    Clear Anodizing Producing Poor Finish

    Greetings- I recently recieved some samples of 6061-T6 Aluminum from a anodizer that were given this military specification: MIL-A-8625F Type II Class I.

My boss typically arrives around 7:30 AM and leaves around 6:00-7:30 P.M. My first year, I lived about 45 min - 1hr away. At first...
