Thanks for the info guys, I'll definitely post some pics when it's done. I'm gonna have to order another mc'clicky for it but otherwise I'm good to go. Dan
Some ano remains.
Inside the head and tail cap along with the front of the body the anodize remains. Why?
I wonder if it is related to the overall stock circuit design?
On some of my vintage lights, unless there is a circuit interuping ring between the reflector and bezel the slide switch type lights will not turn off with the switch to off. The circuit remains completed as long as something touches the battery at both ends. Placing something like tape around the outter edge of the reflector where it touches the bezel causes the circuit to operate properly via the on/off switch.
A stock circuit interuptor.
So I wonder if leaving some ano at the front end of a 6P does the same thing...

I reckon it's more likely that they dipped the light fully assembled in the caustic.
I wonder if there a gel type caustic that you could paint on the outside to avoid dunking?
There's a seriously dangerous thing over here called Nitromors which is a paint remover. That's a gel type thing, really destroys your skin.

We have a spray on product over here called 'aircraft stripper' that just loves to eat coatings over alluminum.
This:
To this:
In about an hour.
Spray on, let sit a bit, peel off coating with a putty knife and toothpicks in the crevices.
I just did some reading and it is highly reccomended NOT to leave it on any longer than it takes to bubble. 10-15 minutes. Dude said the brush on kind works better than the spray on type and that fine steel wool and lots of rinsing made a positive difference. I suppose since the SureFire ano is the super hard type brush on remover would be best.

That looks amazing. So much work, so glad I don't like cars.

Later:
About 50% completed.
I was going through the entire car bolt by bolt, trim, plastics, cables, carpeting etc replacing bad with better when it began to give me a lot of grief with electrical issues so I turned my attention to fixing all of that stuff. Got that done and turned my sights back to the plan when the head gasket popped.
I restored the paint to look like new and placed it under a cover until my broken heart was mended.
That was about the time I joined CPF.
Between work, other hobbies (err uh, flashlights) and some health issues I haven't resumed the project yet.
It took 2 years to figure out why I felt so sluggish. Thyroid. About a year later a hormone pill with correct amount fixed that when my ticker started getting all wonky on me. Part thyroid pill, part diet related (too much fasting and staying nearly dehydrated) then type 2 diabetes crept in due to years of not eating often enough. I was 40 pounds over weight by then.
Thus far this year 20 of those are gone, my stamina is returning to a normal amount for a person with my mileage and things have settled down at work. Glucose is back to normal too. I just cut another hole in my belt in the right direction this time.
By fall I hope to resume the car but a lot of other projects around the home have been put off for a few years and have gone from 'oughta do it someday' to 'needs doing asap'.
Flashlights and CPF friends kept me sane through the worst part.

Sounds like my boat. It's a Olympic Class racing dingy. I used to sail it over the Winter, when there's no-one up here and I could get it aquaplaning, which is the closest thing to flying that I've ever done.
Someone reversed thier towball into the side. I was so upset, I couldn't even look at it. It's been in the loft at the Brewery for about 8 years. I will get it down in a bit and mend it. That boat was almost part of me.

I used to try to fix up old cars in my 20's but never had the budget or patience (or know how). I resumed in my late 40's helping my sons keep their Honda cars going. Once I had figured out the Honda thinking I started my own project by restoring a well used beater driven nearly to death by young soldiers who had passed it around from one to another. Learning as the project progressed I developed patience and finally had the extra cash to fix it up right.
The car was an older one that had fallen out of favor with the younger crowd. So several ended up in nearby junk yards. My oldest son and I picked good parts from them for pennies on the dollar versus new parts.
At one point we were known as "Sandford & Son" with Honda Prelude fans across America. Half the fun was learning how to fix broken stuff. But when the head gasket failed I was done. I'd spend weeks trying to figure out stuff a couple of hours a week, finally fix it drive it once and something else would break.
I could fix the head gasket in a weekend. But then I started feeling like crap all the time and just lost interest. Today I'm wiped out. Not from health stuff. But from doing lawn care from 7am to noon at my house and my sons, fixing a bicycle, a lawnmower and washing (and polishing) Mrs Fixers car. All by noon.

I think it looks right at home on your Molle webbing.
