Not sure if any remember but i did some anodizing a while ago and posted some videos but i have since deleted those. I did abut 4 yoyos last time and then I had to stop. Last week I felt like starting again. I then redid all my research and gathered the proper materials. Well earlier this morning was my first attempt again. Below im going to show before and after pics. This is my first job in well over a year and i think it came out great. I resiliconed the yoyo and now waiting for that t dry to see how it plays. I stripped the old ano off of a Dv888 i dont use. So without further ado heres my results:
Well did my 2nd ano job. My camera really sucks and doesn’t give a good perception of what it looks like in person. I did an acid wash splash and then acid washed the rest of the body. I was going for a woodsy look and i feel like it was achieved. I’ll have to take better pictures when the weather is better.There is some dust that is pictured that makes the Ano look a bit weird but don’t mind that.
I do plan on eventually doing a few for commission but right now looking for practice and to be consistent. If anyone has a couple open hub throws (like a genesis and other YYF) that they would let me practice on I would do it for free but just have to pay for shipping. Only looking for a single person. I’m mainly looking for some who polish those throws or already have them raw because stripping is really lengthy and a task. So if you have like two raw open hubbed throws pm me for a free job but must pay for shipping.
I’ve noticed that yoyos with open hubs and actual nipples in the hub take ano well with my set up. Flat hubs don’t work so well for me. I’m still not even close to perfecting it but I’m getting good results
