\"De-Anodizing\" Some Flashlights
I wanted to prep a few flashlights for different finishes and some modifications, so I tried my hand at taking the anodizing off via the Red Devil Lye method. This was my first time doing this - it was surprisingly easy and yielded outstanding results.
I found it deceiving on the first few parts. It looked as if it wasn't coming off all the way. When I washed them off with a little soap and a mild bit of Scotch-Brite, they looked like virgin Al.
Pictures coming.
