Anodizing questions answered by jasonwongzero (Loaded Yoyos)

Yes a sand blaster can remove anodizing but it’s much better to chemically strip it using either oven cleaner or a commercial stripper. Sand blasting will take off a lot of metal and also change the texture of the metal. Not recommended.
