    Clear type II anodize over masked black type III anodize

    @1gibson The two traces would not be electrically connected. @mcgyvr I understand that the bulk body is electrically connected, but it is my understanding that current is a surface phenomenon so that if (for example) I masked off two circles during a type III anodizing process that holding a...
