Alondine follows the acid etch; it is a "conversion coating" that in reality corrodes the surface of the metal about 1/2 to 11/2 mils deep. One can buy both the etch, which is high grade phosphoric
Hi David I don't know whether heating will help bend your material or not, what I do know is that it is very difficult to see when aluminium is hot and melted comes right along and creates a blob abo
