VEC Short: Anodizing without an Anodizer
Experience the magic of niobium. The color is applied by voltage of the electric current used and my signature "painting with sanding pad" technique. No Anodizer? A low tech, affordable method of anodizing with 9-volt batteries will be demonstrated. Try it before you buy an anodizer.
