[Divided]

totally agree with what the last guy said. strong acids and bases are nasty.. similar accident happened to me. guy next to me spilled hydrochloric acid onto my lab book.. needless to say, had to throw out the book after neutralizing it.

as far as did it work? .... well

yes/no -- it looked kinda faded, dont think the current was strong enough .. needed more amperage! um.. so no it didnt work perfectly..

if you want to find info just use a search engine and search for "anodizing" or "anodizing and plating" -- many sites
